I love these “favorite of my favorites” threads. This was a fun one to read considering the addition of the reasoning behind each. I took you up...
Great addition @TIF . I’ve had one of this type on my radar for a while and have bid on a few but still haven’t won one yet. You picked a great...
I like photo 2. Plus it has the added bonus of you having been the one to take the photos (assuming photo 1 is from the auction house?). I know it...
I enjoyed it... both times ;) what is nice about your Kelenderis is how realistic the face is engraved. I’ve gotten to where I really like...

I don’t pretend to be an expert on the issue but if I understand correctly the latest research I have read indicates that the Soter Megas Coins...

Nice addition Mike! Here is my Kushan example... the ever humble “Great Savior.” The Great Savior Needs No Name… He Still Has One Though...
What a great thread idea! My favorite is the Locris and not just because its the one that is “classically” beautiful. I think it’s fantastic to...

Those are remarkable James. I was not even aware that one could put together a collection of these. I was in Japan recently and the sword blades...
Thanks and great Apollodotos silver coin! I was using Percy Gardner's tables from BMC to understand the translation. He lists 3 variants for the...
