My first ever coin under $100 bucks WOW AV 1/4 Ashrafi ND/ NM Timurids of Badakhshan Sulayman Mirzin 1529-84
Nice! I've won 4 coins in the auction (3 Parthian and 1 Arab-Sasanian), hopefully I can get some good books in the literature portion tomorrow.
I was watching 4 coins in Album, bid on 3, won 2. Made up for the one I lost because I actually found a higher graded coin on Ebay for a lower price. Congrats on your coin! A gold coin for under $100? How tiny is that thing?
Its .95 g/ same weight of a Quarter Dukat. These are hard to get though. SA has a lot of really unique stuff/ than God that they are not as popular as Heritage/ Stacks at least you have a chance to pick up nice material.
Oh, I'm fully aware of the benefits of Stephen Album. Been a customer there for years. His specialty in Islamic coinage extends to my particular interest - Morocco. 0.95g? Geez, that thing must be tiny!
Well, of course Steve Album's auctions aren't as popular as Heritage or Stack's. Most of the coins Steve Album features aren't Greek or Roman, and what sort of weirdo would care about such coins?
