I bet the people of ancient greece would laugh if they knew a debate
over test cuts would be brewing up such a stir hundreds of years after

idiots lol.

Particularly those who think today is "hundreds" of years removed from
when these coins were struck. Try 2,400-plus years.

Earlier I said that the above coin was an offering of Dimitre Genov of
AAH. I don't know why I said this. Maybe I had just looked at another
coin offered by him. Anyway, it's an offering of eukratides, who's
Brad Bowlin. Interesting story. He's an M.D. from Mississippi who
started out collecting ancient coins and is now traveling to Europe
and having fun being a dealer.


It's an interesting coin, with the three cuts all on the reverse. Seems
a touch on the expensive side for a mutilated coin. My memory might be
playing tricks with me but I could almost swear that pieces like these
(with only one cut) were selling for circa $100 roughly this time last
year.

I would ask you to tell me about it, but you wouldn't be able to remember.
