NIce score on the Indo Greek kings. The coins of Phillip V and Perseus is the an interesting coin. Its from a real turning point in ancient history. Its pretty much one of the last coins minted by the free Macedonians. Perseus was eventually defeated by the Romans and Macedon was annexed divided and eventually made the province of Macedonia. Very cool coins and even better at a bargain.

I like them all. When you say "budget" what kind of prices are you talking about?

including shipping, these coins were 58 dollars. if you go hunting specifically for these coins (and can find them), and want them in a hurry, you'll pay much more. but it's pretty easy to find affordable ancient coins like these if you keep an eye open for good deals. even if you don't want to spend the time searching (or know what to look for exactly), 58 bucks at vcoins can score you something pretty nice.
