It's been a very long time since I bought my last coin, so finally I have a temporary break in my dry spell. This is the first of several new coins.

Awesome tetradrachm. The Seleucids sure tried to back a lot on a reverse.

Breaking dry spells always rocks!

Sadly it's only going to be a short reprieve.

Nice way to end the dry spell!

What's that saying? 'In for a penny, in for a pound?'

Maybe it should be 'In for a penny, in for a tet"

Very nice. I want one of these but have set myself the target of an EF example. I might have to wait quite some time.

This is very pleasing and a great way to break a dry spell.

that's a nice one, but I have a soft spot for seleucid coins...

and roman coins.

and kushan coins.

and byzantine coins.

and chinese coins.

and sassanin coins.

...well, you get the idea.

fruit salute for breaking a dry spell with two very nice coins!

I have one, but yours is nice. A defined "must have" coin. Chris posted the fruit and it is well deserved!
