<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4547801, member: 111037"]One of the coins that really attracted my attention when I started collecting was the little drachms from Moesia Inferior with the Dioskouroi brothers on the observe.

Problem is that while these coins look magnificent if in E.F condition and well struck, the attractiveness of the design will suffer if otherwise. I have been waiting for a while for a really nice one, but nothing is coming up nowdays for the right price, so I decided to settle for this one with the mind to upgrade later on if a really good example of this type hits the market. They are not expensive coins anyway and a really good one will be worth paying a little extra.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1125813[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These pics don't do it justice and the coin looks better in hand, however I am still a bit iffy about it as maybe I should have waited for the right one!
