I got some good mail today. This lot didn't turn out too bad. I will post more when I get back from work. These are mostly AE3's  |

Nice - how many did you buy? Are they all barbarous?

You should get some nice coins from this lot.
Looking forward to seeing them.

They look like pretty clean coins to me! Looks like a good lot.

If the lot was described as barbarous radiates and they mostly are AE3 with relatively intact (unchipped) edges, you may have a very good group. So many are smaller and ragged. The photo looks promising.

Hmm, interesting. In the top image there is a coin which has a crescent in a square with a dot inside. Does anyone know what type of coin this is?

I know Arles used star in crescent in its marks but cant think of a dot in crescent atm. Edited by bobbyhelmet

most of the obv have nice portraits on them but the reverse dont have much detail most have stick men. Overall I like these coins and wont do any cleaning on them except on the 6 that are still encased in a thick layer of hard sand is what it feels like but I wont use any electricity or any hard cleaning that would change the patinas or details on them. There is 125 total coins in this lot.   |

That's a lot of nice coins. I've never seen this many barbaric coins in one lot before.
