..i'm tickled pink! i just purchased 2 coins of Mt. Argaeus... i've been pursuing one for well over a year with no luck on bidding(Clioed) and not being able to find one for less than $130.+-. i made my mind up after my last purchase of Faustina jr. that i was gonna "not" buy(try) any other coins until i got one... now i breath easy when i purchase more because soon i'll have 2! I'm not sure, but i think it's Elagabalus on the obverse..and to be honest, i bought the 1st coins w/o even looking at the obverse...haha!..here's the sellers pic and going against our superstitious taboo, i'll post one of the sellers pic of them here. O and what beckoned me to find these was the seller (ebayer) had listed on another coin listing "wolf babies"(Romulus and Remus) on one and on another he had "lady with hat and horse and buggy on reverse" on another.. ahhahha..he/she/they have a few hundred sales.. i don't know if they are using tricky advertising or just really don't know what they got, but either way, i'm glad i came across them..i'll post on arrival
Cool! I have one from the past Saturnalia, I'll try to post pics later. And @ominus1 the St. Paul didn't work out but I am moving to Kansas next week, that be why I haven't been on CT much lately
Ah yes, but no Toto. I got offered more money and it's a different airplane. Never to old to learn something new. Finding a new home and packing has been a challenge. And to keep it coin related, not a good picture. Tranquillina (241-244 AD) AE 26mm, 8.53g, Caesaria, Cappadocia CA TRANKYΛΛINA AV diademed & draped bust right MHTPO KAIC B N Mt. Argaeus set on altar ET V in exergue
One side only? What a tease, @ominus1 Looks like a very nice coin! Looking forward to seeing bigger pictures of both sides
I really think that @ominus1 was trying to say this was his coin: Princess Dorothy at the Mountain... Doing the Shrums...
..it is the reverse of one of them i purchased @Alegandron ..i don't wish to mojo meself too much before i receive the 2 lil buggers...
..i have suffered the fate of the curse! these two coins never made it into the mail tracking system..o woe is me
