[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2792227, member: 77077"]I finally bought a coin from Littleton Coin Company. :-) You old timers probably remember their ads from magazines back in the day. I noticed a young kid, who turned out to be 11, trying to sell some ancient coins to the various dealers. None were interested. I asked to see them and bought one just on principle to help young collectors out. I offered $40 which the kid and his father accepted. :wideyed: [ATTACH=full]648898[/ATTACH] Here is the flip tag that came with it. Littleton did not bother to identify the reverse deity, who I believe may be Eirene holding an olive branch? The year is off the flan unfortunately. [ATTACH=full]648899[/ATTACH] At least Littleton guarantees that it is genuine. That is good to know. :-) I am not so sure these Diocletian Tetradrachms from Alexandria are difficult to find today as they said, because ironically enough, I had just bought a bag of 25 different ones from Pegasi half an hour earlier. :woot: John[/QUOTE]
