<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 5193787, member: 74712&quot;]IT’S MONDAY!&nbsp; I nearly forgot...&nbsp; and with how fast the threads are coming in these days, stuff easily gets buried (I posted something at 1.30 in the morning, and by 1.30 in the afternoon the thread was on the third page!)</p><p><br /></p><p>here are a couple coins I won at auction back in August that ONLY JUST arrived in the post (so I don’t have good photos yet).&nbsp; The delay is partly my fault - I thought I paid for them right after the auction, but was then embarrassed when the seller sent me an invoice at the end of September.&nbsp; However, afterwards, the seller’s extremely poor communication kept the coins sitting around until various threads and requests for refunds got the coins the mail.&nbsp; The had been plenty of warnings about this seller’s budget auctions before, but I chose to take the risk.&nbsp; Never buying from them again, but in the meanwhile, I did manage to stage two lovely issues from Antioch:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1214279[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1214280[/ATTACH] </p><p>The coin on the left:</p><p>Crusader - Antioch</p><p>Tancred, Regent, r. 1101-1103, 1104-1112</p><p>Type 1 AE Follis, 22.04 mm x 3.01 grams</p><p>Obv.: O ΠE-TPOC, Bust of St. Peter, holding cross in left hand</p><p>Rev.: + / KE BOI / ΘH TOΔV / ΛO COVT / ANKPI</p><p>Ref.: Malloy Antioch 3a, 4076-7</p><p><br /></p><p>and the coin on the right:</p><p>Crusader - Antioch</p><p>Tancred, Regent, r. 1101-1103, 1104-1112</p><p>Type 3 AE Follis, 20.77 mm x 4.23 grams</p><p>Obv.: IC - XC, Bust of Christ, nimbate, wearing tunic and cloak, holding Gospels</p><p>Rev.: TA - NK - P - H, Cross pommetée, fleuronnée at base</p><p>Ref.: Malloy Antioch 5, De Wit 4081[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
