  1. Usually I end up bidding on a few at Frank S. Robinson's auction and don't win anything. This time I got lucky with a couple of wins: First my siglos, 4.79 g 12X14 mm, Frank says Persia 450-330 BC King running R with spear and bow...any other info on this or the other coins is appreciated. The other - an Egypt Tet Aurelian and Vabalathus 10.33 g 20X24 mm I'm not an experienced ancients collector so any information anyone can share is appreciated.
  2. Thanks for all the replies! The seller memory93_antiques appears to be based in Austria but accepts coins from other countries. These were cheap so I decided to take the risk, knowing that I might end up with nothing. The seller has 100% feedback and does list actual feedback rather than "Private Transaction". Sorry about the photos not showing up...let me try again. Anything anyone can tell me about either would be appreciated!
  3. Let's try solo photos... Anyone have any information to share about these...please
  4. OK, I posted some time ago about a coin I was thinking of buying that was listed on e-bay as being in Austria, but the purchase page showed Bulgaria! People here agreed the coin looked legit, so I did it and ordered another of his to ease the shipping. Well, they're in and I took some pics. Mine are never really good, but better than his (I think). Alexander III 325 BC Obv. Macedonian Shield Rev. Helmet 4.20 g 16 mmSigeion Troas Athens Colony Obv. Athena 3/4 facing front Triple crested helmet Rev. Owl ΣIΓE before crescent behind Sear 4144 var 6.13 g 18 mm Authentic?
  5. Interesting, I ordered a coin from a seller who listed his address as Austria (e-bay) but when I got to the payment page, he's in Bulgaria!!! I posted a picture and people here seemed to think the coin was legit, but it did raise all sorts of red flags.
  6. I have interests in coins other than ancient, so I will keep my CT membership, however since so many have switched, I am trying to be a dual citizen if I have ancient concerns. I recently won this on e-bay from a seller who had his location as Austria (memory93_antiques) but when I checked his page, he is in Bulgaria. This triggered some anticipation, so I thought I would ask the members here as to their opinion as to whether it is an authentic ancient coin or some sort of counterfeit.
