<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Guybrush, post: 7679722, member: 121379&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently purchased this coin, essentially on a whim, at a reputable coin dealer in my local city. I had not done any research or reading on the subjects, and I&#039;ve never had a particular interest in coins previously.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, it struck me how amazing it is to own something so old and of interest at such an affordable price. This coin stuck out to me in particular and so I bought it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having now done some reading about Philip the Arab, and ancient coins in general - I may have accidentally found an interest that could get out of hand, as I really enjoyed learning about it and reading some of the posts on here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to hear your thoughts on this coin. I would also like to know the risk of it being an imitation, as the detail shown on the bust side appears higher than that I&#039;ve seen on similar examples?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mistake or not as a first coin purchase, I&#039;ve definitely enjoyed the experience!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1319073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1319072[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
