DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 4:35 pm With two gaps left in my binder and knowing what one of them was for I have been keeping my eye out for the other. The page contains a mixture of coins, a few Celtic, some Byzantines, a pair of Indian and a couple of Parthian. I had imagined perhaps a gold Byzantine there but times are hard. So when I spotted this little fellow, cheap as chips but unlike anything else in my collections I thought it fitted the bill nicely. So now just that Kamarina coin that I have been looking for... but with the exchange rate low as it is now, and an overdraft that could use attention now isn't a great moment.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 4:59 pm Very nice pick up, David. I'm fond of this type too. Quote: now isn't a great moment. Yeah, I would imagine that purchasing coins post-Brexit-vote, especially from dealers outside the UK, is tougher now. The hobby teaches us patience, though, doesn't it? Looking forward to the Kamarina. Report this Post to the Staff
DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 5:04 pm I guess we mustn't discuss politics here... but I will suffer what ever challenges Brexit offers because long term I think it will work out for the best (not for me personally perhaps but for following generations) I was urging everyone to buy gold for the last couple of months... thinking that a remain vote would offer little fluctuation but a leave vote it would jump... and jump it did. 22% on results night. Yes patience... its a key characteristic of a good collector...not a personal trait of mine but if I can't find the coin I want then I can't buy it, no matter how impatient.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 09:40 am Thanks! I found a group of 4 ebay stores (at least two are the same person) that are great for these coin types. I was able to win a few really cheap ($2-3) later examples that should be here in a few weeks. I love putting together a chronological run of these cheap silver Indian types, where you can really watch the design degrade into abstract shapes over the course of a couple centuries.
