Remembering that I am a bottom feeder, I would pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $60-$75 for all three. So that comes out to $20-$25 each. I hope this doesn't offend, but that is my honest assessment.

Definitely a nice coin. Let's see a photo of it. Sometimes they look different from the seller's photo.

Also, they were $150 Delivered for all three.
$115 on the Carthage coin (including shipping for all three)
$20 on the Macedon coin
$15 on this coin.
I probably overspent on this one, but got good deals on the other two...
Also, are there any catalogs for Roman Provincial coins?
If there are, I'd love to know the number for this coin so it can go into my spreadsheet.
And also, any dating on this coin? Also for my spreadsheet.

Well, at least I was correct on the other two coins.  |

Hristova and Jekov - Moesia Inferior, Nicopolis ad Istrum - (not Thrace!)is one of the better references. It's die based as provincial roman coinage references need to be. This particular die combination isn't in their book. The general type is 8.22.48.5 (which is as close a reference as can be obtained from this) but the obverse die seems to be a match for 8.22.1.5-8. It could be an unknown die combination - nice find!

Wow... I think the dealer may have messed up with this coin. Completely wrong area and ruler. The other two were way better than expected (especially for the price) so no complaining. Also, it would be cool to say it is a new die match... I hope it is!  Edited by Windchild
