[QUOTE="Mat, post: 4969766, member: 21445"]Not too long ago I mentioned I purchased some coins from Harlans' current Buy or Bid. Normally I don't play around in the deep end area of ancient dealer$ but 3 coins struck me at decent deals for the price. The first coin I will share is a Hostilian Antoninianus that is an upgrade to a previous one I owned. I have since sold the coin to another dealer, but you can view the old post of it below. [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/one-of-my-favorite-coins-hostilian-tetradrachm-antioch.359118/#post-4421114[/URL] I was attracted to this for 2 reasons, the better weight & the almost jet black silver with some light silver devices. Circ Cam as [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] coined ages ago. There may be a few who are put off by the chipped edge, but in hand, it really isn't that bad and of course, it had to happen in antiquity since it's just as toned. It feels so much better to hold than my old light weight one. I'm very satisfied with the upgrade. It also has some provenance.
