Indo-Scythian Tetradrachm Of Aspavarma

Thanks Bob, just a little picking and rubbing with the fingers. I still can't make up my mind what I want to chance it too.

Probably just the lighting.

I'm going to go off base here a bit and spout off. There are several of us that go through a lot of time and effort to research the coins that we post so that we can further the hobby of ancient coin collecting, spark interest and maybe show coins that others haven't seen before. But it gets a bit frustrating when we do all the work and the only comments we get are from those same people that also do all the work. Don't get me wrong we are more than happy to help people that want to learn and go as far as trying to find the information on their own, of which there is tons avail able on the web and I the sticky section here.
What really sticks in my craw are the folks that come here and want us to ID every ancient coin that they come across and do no research on their own. I've had people tell me that they are too lazy to do their own research and would rather we do it for them. That doesn't cut it with me, you need to be willing to do some work on your own. Also we are collectors and not appraisers, so asking for value 9 times out of 10 you will not get and answer. Finally contribute to the discussion, comment on other threads and be willing to give your opinion and join in. OK rant off.
