<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 7287921, member: 85693&quot;]What a day!&nbsp; I got my COVID-19 shot (first of two) and the USPS brought me three more &quot;impulse&quot; purchases from eBay - I thought they all looked kind of nifty in one photo.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t attributed them yet.&nbsp; And my arm doesn&#039;t hurt (yet).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That one on top was described as a Geta denarius but the listing had a photo of a Vespasian.&nbsp; Rather than pester the seller with questions, I decided to take a gamble.&nbsp; Geta it is!&nbsp; And it came with a Ilya Zlobin certificate of authenticity to boot.&nbsp; Nobody bid on it, probably because of the photo/description discrepancy.&nbsp; It went for $20.</p><p><br /></p><p>That one on the bottom left was advertised as a semis, but it weighs 9.15 grams, so I think it is an as.&nbsp; This is the first Rome/Antioch SC Trajan for me - it&#039;s a bit rough so it went for $8.77 which seems cheap to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note the countermark on that tetradrachm on the bottom right.&nbsp; I paid $42.50, which is way more than I pay for countermarks usually, but since it was still under the $50 limit on this thread, I will include it.&nbsp; This was an &quot;impulse buy&quot; because it was a buy-it-now auction and I was afraid somebody else would snap it up.&nbsp; It was issued by a kingdom I&#039;d never heard of - but I&#039;m sure some of you will recognize it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276022[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
