I sometimes buy from a UK seller who specializes in coins of ancient Persia and the near east. Shipping is steep, but additional lots ship free and he doesn't fuss if you spend a few weeks to build an order so everyone saves on shipping. I was already committed to an order, so I went trolling for cheap pieces to tag along. This piece had no bids, so I put one in. Won it for a buck. One dollar. Elymaean kingdom, Anonymous "Prince A" C. 2nd-3rd century AD Bust "A" left Artemis standing right, holding bow and removing arrow from quiver 13mm, 2.18g Van't Haaf 19.1 It's a shame that Artemis is headless, but this may still be one of my better purchases! Well worth the sacrifice of a large coke from McDonald's! I know Bob's spidey sense is tingling by now, so any additional information will be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Nice to see this little $1 gem added to your collection, Steve. Wish I had more context to contribute, but the late Elymaean period is mysterious, and Van't Haaff frankly contributes little insight. The coins are sweet, though. Quote: It's a shame that Artemis is headless... Well the huge head on my Van't Haaff 19 is more than big enough to make up for the lack of one on yours: Or, perhaps, the Elymaeans were referencing one of these?: Report this Post to the Staff
