You're a winner Panzerman! That's really nice.

Thanks! I have always loved Kushan coinage. Gupta is really nice too with many different reverse types. Certainly does not get boring/ just lack of fund$🙃

Congratulations, @panzerman!!! This example has a great style!

P.S. Now I know with whom I need to agree my bidding strategy before auction 😊 - I was your underbidder, it was a great fight! 🤝🤝🤝

[panzerman]

Thanks for kind words! I think that would be a perfect arrangement. I once went after another Huvishka Dinara Triton event. I ended my quest at $3800. It ended up selling much higher. I sincerely hope you have better success to get one for your coll. I now/ will be out of game/ I just wanted one for myself. Just need the AV Quarter Dinara/ these are tough to find in MS.

I love the $$$$ AV Dinara were Huvishka is on an elephant!

There are a lot of tales about putin. This is a part of present days russian worldview - they wants to see putin everywhere and at every moment. As a result you never know if any information is a true or lie. I have never heard that putin has any kind of interests in numismatics. I also have heard that he died at 26 of October and now lies at refrigerator of his residence at Valdai. I hope it's true and we'll see soon a destruction of putinism.
