    It is a common coin but the patina just made me have to have it. Beautiful natural green. Of course I over paid but I have no regrets.
    I hope the picture does it justice.

    I am very fond of commemorative series coins but can't find any reference to my latest VRBS ROMA (or in this case.. Roma Vrbs) purchase.. It is a heads right antioch variant. The style seems to be ok for Antioch and it is too fine for a contemporary fake in my view.. Anyone seen this one listed or referenced somewhere?

    Nice. I was offered a slabbed MS example of one of those recently, but did not end up buying it.

    The price, while not crazy-high, was not a bargain, either. It was essentially full retail. I suppose it was just not in the range of what I wanted to pay.

    I do not collect ancient coins per se, but there are issues that grab my attention and this is one of them. Its surface is not in the best condition but I should look so good when I'm 2500 years old. I have looked for a few years to find one of these and I am very happy to become the custodian of this coin.

    Lucania, Sybaris 550-510 BC. Stater 7.50 g, 28mm.
    Bull standing left, head right "VM" in exergue.
    Incuse of the obverse.
    SNG ANS 828-839.
    Light graffiti on the bull's chest on the reverse.
