VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 9:26 pm Just bought them. I'll let you guys know when they arrive. Thanks again for all your inputs. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 9:27 pm I've not used them as I thought their prices would be high but having just had a look they seem to have a lot of very reasonable sellers. If ebay carry on the way they are going V coins could be an alternative, certainly for ancient buyers and sellers. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 10:07 pm Just wondering. What is that blob under AVG in the Philippi coin? Encrustation of some sort? Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 10:18 pm In comparing to my own coins, I would say its encrustation. JW Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 11:26 pm I was going to post one of them for the Guess the Price contest, but considering I revealed their internet location where someone can find them and see the price, I might as well say how much I paid: $16.50 for the Spanish provincial, and $6 for the Philippi. How did I do? Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 10:04 am Also, what composition are they? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm still kind of a noob when it comes to ancients. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 11:15 am The prices were good enough - I'm not sure what you mean by composition so I'm interested to see what others have to say too. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 1:00 pm If I understand your question correctly, both coins are bronze or a bronze alloy called Orichalcum. Most likely bronze. JW Report this Post to the Staff
