<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7835913, member: 74968&quot;]When [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] bought her &quot;snake cowboy&quot; coin of Domitian, I knew I had to have one. Here is the original thread:</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/so-these-exist-snake-cowboys.314032/#post-3041893" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/so-these-exist-snake-cowboys.314032/#post-3041893">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/so-these-exist-snake-cowboys.314032/#post-3041893</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] for her excellent thread and for the inspiration to track down one of these for myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] grabbed one recently. That one is the Dattari plate coin, and it is a lovely piece. I knew one was coming up in a Leu auction. Well, the lot ended yesterday and I am very happy to say that I am now part of the &quot;Snake cowboy&quot; club. I was prepared to go higher than the hammer which surprised me because this coin attracts lots of attention from collectors. I mean who would not love a coin depicting a snake riding a horse?</p><p><br /></p><p>I love these Egyptian coins with their very interesting reverses. I know the coin is a bit rough but that is okay. With this rare type, one takes what the market offers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins featuring Agathadaemon or even some plain snakes.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>EGYPT.
