<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2320455, member: 42773&quot;]And now for the coins you&#039;ve all been waiting for. Nabataeans! </p><p><br /></p><p>This first is the most common of all Nabs, Aretas IV in a jugate portrait with his queen Shaqilat. I had the opportunity to look through several hoards of Nabataeans, hundreds of coins, and pulled out a handful of better pieces. This one has great, expressive busts, and the centering is pretty good on both sides. The king&#039;s name is slightly clipped on the reverse, but not badly so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there are few dealers that have taken to &quot;improving&quot; their Nabataeans with false desert patinas. It&#039;s refreshing to come across coins with plain old ancient dirt.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468898[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
