Any sweet archaic incuse coins? ... I'm just sayin'

Gosh, once again I am impressed by the depth of your collections! Some real beauties here, thanks for reviving the thread.

I have several archaic incuse coins, but lost all my coin photos when my PC crashed last year (unluckily, my backup was lost as well). While I have begun the arduous task of rescanning my coins, I'm only 35% of the way through, and started with my favorite, the Res Publica.

So, while I may not contribute to some of the treads, I just wanted you all to know that I am really enjoying viewing them!

Unfortunately I don't have any incuse coins... but you guys have excellent examples of 'em!

 

Wow => you dudes have some outstanding incuse examples (sweeeet!!)

Hmmm, well I may as well toss the other examples that I've neglected into the ol' pot, eh? (curse you, OCD => why do you nag me so?!!)



=> here are the rest of my incuse scraps ...







okay, maybe they're not exactly "scraps" ... especially that last baby!!

=> man, I love that lil' sweetie!! (sweet Larissa, fountain coin!!)

 

.... eh-heh-heh (I couldn't fit this poor lil' gal into that last post, *photo limit*)

Ummm, 385-360 BC ... pretty sure this is still considered an archaic-incuse, right? (actually, I think this example-type has already been posted?) ... I'm gonna go check



okay, I'm back => ummm, "close enough" ... man, I'm not a machine!!

 

Per CNG:

Ancient Greek coinage can be divided into three periods that generally conform to the traditional periods of Greek art. The earliest period, the Archaic, covers the time from the introduction of coinage in Asia Minor sometime in the seventh century BC to the end of the Greco-Persian Wars in 479 BC.

 

... blah-blah-blah ...
