    I attended the 2023 NYINC and Vogue Live Knitting (for my wife). We have done this before in one trip. This year it took 2. I brought home some brown treasures. My wife has all of the colors of a rainbow plus a few.

    The best find was an Athena / Wheel cast coin from Olbia, top right. I think Athena looks like Grue's mother.

    I found a few inexpensive pocket fillers. They were from an unlabled tray.

    This 4 gram mini-owl looks ruff. I was afraid it was a modern cast fake. The folks at the ANS said it looked ok.

    I bought this one because I am looking for Greek letters used by Romans and others as numbers. This one is L IΔ = year 14.

    My wife bought a few of these.

    Nice pickups regarding the show. :)

    Nice result. The Gorgon/Bird is quite appealing

    @rrdenarius Some really nice additions!! In the first two pics, the coins in the
    top left, top right and bottom right caught my eye. Where can I learn more
    about them?

    You can find a lot of the Head of Athena / Wheel with four spokes (‘solar disk’) cast bronze coins by searching for Olbia Athena Wheel on acsearch. I have a few books on Greek coins, but they do not say much about cast bronze coins from Olbia.
    I wrote a few words about the Gorgon / sea eagle with dolphin here a few years ago.
