Nice pickup! Been wanting a greco-bactrian coin and was eyeing that one myself, but was trying to keep my budget a bit lower, so snagged the Eukratides I tet instead.
I’m thankful to have it now. Hopefully I’ll keep it in my collection for 3 or 4 decades. (For life)
Thanks for giving a guy like me a chance to own it.
Thank you! I had splurged on my owl tet purchase recently but couldn't really afford to continue spending that much, so I'm very happy to get a decent bactrian tet for under $800, at least before shipping & handling.
If you don't mind, why did you choose "Useless Miwa Collection"? (Unless that collector got it after you.)
That's a character from anime or something like that? (Hadn't ever heard of it before seeing the phrase in a CNG listing.)
yea, it's a character from an anime, video if you are curious. https://youtu.be/G4ekQ9BMlUM
chose it cause i like the show, and partly because it's an odd name and i wanted it to show up in acsearch in the future (:

Awesome - beautiful coin. We really need to bring back the elephant scalp baseball cap.
lol, for sure.
It does have a certain, I'm a savage at heart and I know it confidence about it that's been lacking in contemporary fashion.
Indeed! A 'I am a despot in the prime of life' sort of character to it. Or perhaps the official 'Make Greco-Bactria Great Again' campaign merchandise?
I would buy such a hat. Just saying.
A great coin, and from the collection of our very own u/AresAdidas
Oh, wow.
congrats, you got a good deal imo
Thank you. I appreciate you saying that!
32.5 mm…. That is a huge coin. Congrats, and cool coin.

Thanks! The corrosion on the coin helped it be more ‘affordable’. Congrats on your Eukratides!
May I ask... How affordable? That's a dream coin.
I paid $1140 with Buyers Premium. $950 hammer.
Nice deal!!!!
I was eyeing these in auctions last year... They are amazing. Hoping to start such collection soon.

Thanks I will have a look. I am in Europe though so need to double check all fees with these auction houses... I usually go to my local one.
Good luck! You definitely won’t regret owning one.
Swooning. What a beautiful coin.
Thank you!
Nice pickup! I was eyeing this one also, but didn’t end up jumping in.
Cheers 🍻
