<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 8662553, member: 25270"]Thanks for the info. I'm sure an ancient collector would have been salivating at the pile and found plenty of bargains. They had a whole plastic tub full of them. I know that I had pulled out another one with Philip that was silver but it seemed smaller, and I also put aside a smaller bronze and a Byzantine coin. I know that much about it. When I first saw the name Philip I thought it might be Alexander the Great's father but I suppose that would probably have been written in Greek letters, and of course the years didn't match. When I had Roman coins in the past I got a few of those "uncleaned Roman coin" lots on eBay and it was all junk that you couldn't really identify so that's part of why I never got into ancients. When you see nice, quality coins like they had there it's a lot different. Unfortunately I won't be going back for a few months and odds are I'll never see that bin again, but maybe if I do I'll do some eBay research in the store on the ones that are labeled and see if I can find some bargains.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
