That is the one bad thing about collecting ancients, there simply is way to much to cover and buy. I specialize in late Roman coins and Siliqua. I don't see many Siliqua on the forums, nor do I receive too many responses when I post Siliqua in threads. AN has a similar problem with his cool eastern coins. This is because we specialize in certain denominations or coins from one Empire or kingdom.. We are a sub group of a sub group of a group( Specialization ex. Siliqua or coins of funan< Ancients in general< Coin collecting)  So when I post Siliqua I usually get " oh thats cool" ( which is not bad and I thank people for taking the time to type those kind words) , but no in depth responses.

Yeah, my thing is late Roman, Byzantine, Germanic kingdoms, and early European medieval, and this along with not having a large budget to buy top-notch stuff within my collecting areas, makes it difficult to drum up interest.

I do have a countermarked coin but that's it, no punchedmarked coins. I think this thread would get more response if the topic was expanded to included countermarked coins.

I intended this thread to be only about Punched marked coin from the Mauryan empire. Counter marked coins are a different subject altogether.

This is a great lot you got there Echizento. I really have a tough time with these punchmark coins. Many are worn and few can be attributed to any particular ruler. I was able to assemble the first 5 Mauryan kings, but you asked to post my punchmark coins so I will instead post my favorite punchmark coin. Janapada, Shakya Republic Anonymous ( c. 600-500 BC) Lifetime and Homeland of Gautama Buddha. AR Archaic 5 Shana 30.4 mm x 14.6 mm x 6.79 g Unifaced: Primary Punch- Two Crescents (one with a root) Five secondary punch marks. Note: Cupric Deposit on reverse. ref: Rajgor 534  |
