<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2748133, member: 42773&quot;]Hey Ziggy, I&#039;m very sorry to hear about your brother. Here&#039;s hoping for your health and well-being. Nice set of coins. I have one of those Bosporan bronzes. Mine has a glossy patina, very tough to image. These coins have a goodly amount of lead in the bronze alloy, giving them a distinct look and feel, not to mention that the busts are aliens!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]628774[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b> <font size="3">Bosporan Kingdom, Tiberius Julius Thothorses, c.
