>The ancients are all so varied that normal plastic tube autism doesn't work for them. Anyways, here is my Alexander. It's from the Babylon mint

Kointain capsules could be put in tubes if that brand of autism is particularly compelling, but I prefer having fondle-piles laying around instead of keeping my treasures hermetically sealed and hidden away. Very nice tetradrachm, the rendering of Alexander's face (as Hercules wearing the Nemean Lion's skin) is quite good.

The curvy things are Bronze-Age sickle blades, for harvesting grain crops, from far-western Ukraine. The brown flint stone crescent at the bottom right is a somewhat earlier Neolithic sickle, i think they're really interesting tools so have a bunch more ancient sickle blades not pictured.

>turns out it's a Real of Ferdinand V & Joanna (called Joanna La Loca = Jane the Crazy), who was minted for only 1 year (1506)!
>So the coin is much rarer than i initially thought, which is a good thing i guess, even though the liquidity will be much worse.

Wow that's really cool frogbro! I have no idea what it might be worth but wouldn't worry about liquidity, the autists who need one will pay handsomely for it. Have you searched different keywords on CoinArchives to find relevant sales data? If not take a look:

I neglected to mention that if you are just looking at it for sale and considering it as an investment I'd pass on it because of the nasty cuts going down the middle and deep wide divot between 10-11 o'clock. It looks like some careful cleaning with needle tools under magnification would clarify some of the details but the damage is too distracting to make it a worthy candidate.

Remember frens to stack precious iron and lead in addition to your silver and copper
