    Well, I said I would never use eBay again, but... OOPS! ...I found a small baggy of a few goodies I had planned to sell a long time ago but never got around to it.

    It's like OLD SCHOOL eBay all over again! :) Genuine coins, honest seller, no hype, 99-cent starting auction with no reserve, low S&H of merely 3 bucks (below actual mailing cost). My aim is NOT the making of a profit, but to simply find loving homes for these significant pieces of history. :) What am I letting go of?...

    -Antiochus V portrait bronze (most collections don't include an Ant. V portrait).

    -Constantine I the great LIFETIME Chi-Rho (truly scarce & early Christian emblem).

    -Troas coin that circulated there when Paul visited on his 3rd Missionary Journey.

    -Antiochus VII Eros decent bronze (this ruler played a key role with the Hasmoneans).

    -A cool numisma / nomisma weight, of a type listed in Hendin's book on weights.

    -2 ancient Roman terracotta Chi-Rho artifacts sold as a pair!

    -3 old British coins of George III (the King George hated by the American colonists).

    -And last but FAR from least: One of the coolest biblical coins in terms of having an apologetics role for the New Testament. It's a Valerius Gratus, under Tiberius, countermarked coin, that validates the Acts 10:1 statement of an Italian Cohort of Roman soldiers being in Judea. See the listing's description notes for details. (This is the only coin I'm listing that is not a 99-cent auction. It's a Buy Now out of self-protection. I don't mind losing some money (and I always do just that in my listings), but I've purchased 3 of this countermarked coin type at an average price of $1300 each!)

    See all these listings here: https://www.ebay.com/usr/philologus_1 (Or if you'd rather not click a link, search eBay for my user name: Philologus_1 ).

    I love snipers!

    I love to respond to any and all questions about my listings!

    Thanks for reading all this! And TRIPLE thanks if you take time to stroll through the listings. :-D
