<p>[QUOTE="Swervo513, post: 1842850, member: 42720"]I agree with Bing. Doug, I wouldn't question your expertise when it comes to ancients. I notice my coin has a B on the reverse different then most other coins of the same style that I have seen. What is the mint on this? And I believe I did forget to mention what attracted me to the coin. The patina and strike made me feel this coin was authentic. I am nowhere close to an expert so I was happy to come to that conclusion. In addition to that, I thought the price wasn't so terrible that even a loss wouldn't hurt. In some ways I took a gamble and figured if it was rare I had something to gain. I do not sell coins so I was not looking for a profit. I just was hoping to get a good deal on a possibly rare coin. Also it was desirable being the only ancient at the shop. While pawn shops like this one are probably not the best place to buy coins I have found a great deal on two coins I bought there which keep me coming back. One was a 7th century Sassanid coin and the other was an 18th century Rouble, both were posted in this forum if you would like to see them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
