<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dadams, post: 2833077, member: 82194&quot;]Seems like I haven&#039;t posted anything here relevant at all in the last couple months.&nbsp; Over the summer my wife had a major surgery, we sold a house and bought a house, moved (obviously), and in general had a horrendously busy last few months. I&#039;m actually ready for my daughter to get back to school and to settle back into a nice calm relaxing routine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I haven&#039;t been posting much, I&#039;ve still been on the hunt and have nearly doubled my ancient coin holdings in a short period - pushing about 30 coins now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of my more recent pick-ups:</p><p><img src="http://www.bibliopath.com/coins/ancient/PERSIS_Autophradates-II_Alram549.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><font size="3">Kingdom of Persis.
