Could you take a picture of your coin? The ex-Nomos FPL, ex-Mieza, ex-Nomos auction 7 coin is not the second coin in your post but is the same as...
That Acanthus is something you don't see every day. Could you take a high resolution image of the obverse at some point? I'd love to see more of...
I'll see what I can do!
Hirsch has some of the worst photos. Happily, I knew this Sphinx cistophorus well (I was outbid ~5 years prior at 2x the price I eventually paid...
I spend hours photographing my coins, usually at least a half hour per-coin until I get it "just right". I could optimize this with a better...

I don't think I'll ever top the diobol, short of getting a larger denomination of the same Athens gold but those become even more budget-busting...
