RIC "R2" denarius - Ron C2's latest gallery coins
Ron C2:
Just added a pretty scarce drachm of Ariarathes VII regnal year 10 from mint C. not as nice as my last Cappadocian drachm, but this one is a rarer coin and not a bad example.

Jay GT4:
I bet it's nicer in hand. You can just tell sometimes. Nice pick up
Virgil H:
I am just loving some of your latest acquisitions, love the Cappadocian coins.

Ron C2:
Thanks guys. Yes. The coin is very lustrous on the obverse in hand. It photographs a little flatter than it appears in person. I'd say it's either aVF or VF.
I still acquire septimius coins to fill holes as I find the right coins, and Cappadocia coins are tougher to find for sale in general. Not common drachms to begin with.
The Byzantine gold stuff is just costly, but not that rare in most cases. For every gold coin I buy, my other acquisitions slow down as they impact the coin budget a tad.
Ron C2:
Added a nice example of the relatively common RIC 118, Paci Aeterni. Nice tone on this one, glad to have picked it up.
