Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/08/2016 4:12 pm Picked this up at what I feel was a fair price for any ancient billon coin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANCIENT-IND...1482?txnId=0 Needed a few types to bridge the gap in the descent of the Indo-Sassanian drachm from the quasi-official issues all the way down through the highly degraded omkara type. I have seen this type before, but this was the first one (for under $15) that had a recognizable face. Info on these is even more sparse than on the Gadhaiya Paisa. I have found a picture from some catalog of what the type is supposed to look like: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODE5WDE2M...anXu/$_1.jpg Anyone care to weigh in how these fit into the "big picture"? Also, is this wear, or were the coins all poorly struck? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/08/2016 4:22 pm You got it for a great price. I paid $9 for the one I have, These coins weren't struck very well, this condition is what these coins are usually found in. Report this Post to the Staff
