    Thanks to Al (askea) for drawing my attention to it!

    Even though they're not Nabatean, this is where I post my brockage errors (hey, ya gotta, right?)

    ... please try not to judge me (I'm havin' fun!!) ...

    Nice Steve. What's the second one? I haven't seen it before.

    No bank robbery. Sometimes I collect regularly. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for a while, then I explode. :)

    I'm not done yet, either. I'm going to the Baltimore show at the end of the month, and hopefully I'll come back with even more.

    I don't believe I own any brokage coins.

    I don't go out of my way looking for errors, but this one is distinctive AND Nabataean. A double threat. :)

    I see brokage coins once in a while, but generally the bidding goes too high for my taste. Yours is an interesting coin even though I do not collect Nabataean coins.
