ancients => Demeter & Protesilaos ... ummm,who?

Nice Protesilaos & eye coin, Z-bro ... I always think that baby is super unique and sweet



Are you and I the only two dudes on this site with a Protesilaos example? (cool club ... we need to get secret-rings)

Think so, Steve... it looks like Mr. First-off-the-boat doesn't have too many fans?

 

Yah, well I've always been a huge fan of the underdogs (the early bird catches the wound ... pretty sure that's a saying?)

 

LOVE the OP Steve-----that reverse is just fantastic and I can so easily overlook the 'rough' crystallization.....of which I have a few.

I'll add this Tet from Byzantion, Thrace with the Demeter and Poseidon combo, circa 240-200 BC---26 mm and 12.43 grams.

I think Poseidon was saying... "OK guys, you go first I'll sit here and supervise and 'mop' up later"

Since I purchased this coin, I haven't yet run across another....presumably a bit more scarce than I realized.

 

Between the two you've recently posted Steve, I like this one better.

 

Thanks, Jwt => $160 versus $60 (I'm glad that you think it was money well spent)

... again, I thought that both of yesterday's scores were fairly thrifty/reasonable

 

This one was only $60? Maybe I should start playing over there! Great score!

 

No, the Double-Kantharos score was $60 .... this baby was $160 (so stay away!!)

 

A sweet score

 

I came late to this party, but here's my soldier going into battle - The Lesser Ajax, hero of Lokris, who participated in the Trojan War: nude with cool helmet, short sword, shield with image of snake inside it, broken spear point between his feet.

 

That's an absolutely stunning coin!! Just gorgeous in every way!!

Congrats @ancientnut...But now I'm super jealous!!

 

Wow, a-nut => that's an amazingly beautiful example (I love it!!)

... man, it would look very nice nestled beside my OP-coin, eh?

X-mas is quickly approaching (I'm just sayin')

 

Uh Oh A-Nut, Steve is giving you some super serious competition...

Fantastic posts!!!
