I'm not entirely sure what might make it "unique" and different from the couple dozen varieties listed on grifterrec, and at least as many on zeno.ru. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 01:07 am The coin is slightly less usual because it has the four prong tamgha (under horse's head) rather than the usual 3. Mitchiner attributed this to Balkh but a lot of his placements are no longer accepted so I would not bet on that one. His value list suggest this is worth about twice the normal Soter Megas type from other mints but I doubt there are many people willing to pay $40 for it let alone $140. I bought a much nicer Taxila coin of the type Friday at a show for $28. Unique, no. Report this Post to the Staff
