Well I could not resist these.....I will post them one at a time but this one...... I really really liked. What do the experts think?

Thrace Lysimachos Tetradrachm

Beautiful!!!!

 

That one caught my eye when browsing the auction. The lion on the shield and in the left field made it more interesting than many, and the obverse is attractive as well.

 

I'm not an expert but this is a beautiful coin. It's full of detail.

 

What I found interesting is that the Reverse has a very laid back reclining Athena. I thought it was much more artistic than the upright figures one normally encounters.

 

Thanks lord Marco van now the £££ don't hurt at all

 

Let me add another 'WOW!

Can't wait to see the rest of that 'mini-binge'

 

Love the patina. Very nice coin with exceptional detail. Congratulations.

 

And then there is this slightly lesser tet

 

Slightly, don't be modest. That's another beauty. Again, love that patina, and details are sharp. Just look at the hair, and well, everything. Awesome.

 

Lesbos Mytilene el Hekte


I didn't have one with the left facing calf head

 

Both are excellent!

 

I missed out on a couple of good ones but I think I got the ones I really wanted.....moreover you can't win them all

 

MINI BINGE???

 

Loved the details on this one. I thought that lion looked really cool....like he was out on a Sunday stroll

 

Stunning coins! That's some binge!

 

Guys I thank you all for the lovely comments. I don't know much about ancients. I buy what I find visually attractive after doing a bit of research. So my collection is a bit all over the place.

 

Mysia, Kingdom of Pergamon, Eumenes 1

Definitely one of my favourites

 

If those coins constitute a mini-binge, I can't imagine what a regular, let alone epic, binge would be. All five of those coins are great coins. I especially love the first Lysimachos tet and the Eumenes tet. Both rulers are high on my want list.
