<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3552510, member: 96864&quot;]Dang there are some awesome coins inhabiting this thread! My most expensive Roman coin (only ~75) was this nice Anonymous C. 214-212 BC semuncia with bold reverse which got lost in the mail (along with a nice Tetras from Kamarina). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]944138[/ATTACH]</p><p>The high demand for Roman coins makes them a bit more expensive than I think they should be so Greeks get most of my love. Roman military artifacts are a different story though:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]944141[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Got a few shiny shekels tied up in these later Imperial Plumbatae (have 2 more now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and javelin. According to the calculations of a delightfully autistic researcher on a different forum who&#039;s been cataloging Plumbatae in museums/archaeological publications and examples sold over the past 15+ years there are less than 300 documented. Surely many more are sitting in the accumulations of detectorists and collectors in the Balkans so my evil plan to acquire &gt;10% of the global supply and plaster my wall with them will take some more time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
