    Very happy to share this beautiful drachm of Sinope. Definitely one of the most beautiful coins I have acquired so far. Let me know what y'all think!

    Splendid. Almost, but not quite, perfect. A keeper.

    Gorgeous Drachm, @JJoyner ! Really nice example.

    I regret I have nothing from Sinope.
