This thread is for my latest acquisitions, should I decide to share
I hope y'all enjoy the photos of my gems.

These are quite rare with a mintage of less than 1.6 million. Nice grade but pity about the scratches to the obverse.

mstt, you come up with the most beautiful coins. I find I look at every sale post you have as well..... even when I have no funds. Some times I return again and again. LOL I have yet to see you post just an average coin.

keep up the good work!!

This is a quarter Stater of the Durotriges tribe - from an eastern region of Celtic southern England.

To me he looks as if he's crying :P

-----------------

Here is my latest Celtic acquisition - a silver Unit of the Dobunni. Spink 377 - can't quite narrow this to a specific type as my book says "Allen Types A-F/I-J".
Reverse is an abstract, devolved Apollo head, reverse shows a triple-tailed horse. Not quite sure of grade? I paid around fifty pounds for this example. Was this right?
