<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ycon, post: 3030520, member: 91771&quot;]I&#039;ve been on the lookout for a coin of Queen Tamar. These don&#039;t seem to come to auction terribly often (judging by acsearch/coinarchives results), and they&#039;re often a bit pricey-- but there are a whole load of them cheaply priced on ebay, from Georgia and Armenia. My guess is that this is simply a matter of supply and demand (just like if you want a tudor coin you&#039;re going to get a much better deal using a british auction house or ebay.co.uk), and that there is nothing nefarious going on. However, there are a couple things that raise red flags, and I&#039;m hoping there is someone here who knows a bit about georgian coinage who can help me out. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/glassrockers/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_ipg=&amp;_from=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/glassrockers/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_ipg=&amp;_from=" rel="nofollow">This seller</a> has a number of reasonably priced coins of Tamar for sale. They don&#039;t accept returns, and they have a history of five or so user id&#039;s since 2004--a bit suspicious, but none them are listed on Forvm&#039;s NFSL. None of the coins *looks* wrong to me, but I only have a very cursory idea of what they should look like. Since I can&#039;t read the legends in georgian or arabic, I also don&#039;t know that the identifications are correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>So here are my questions: </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there anything worrisome about the coins themselves? </p><p><br /></p><p>Are the identifiactions correct?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
