I absolutely loved visiting Split and Diocletian's palace about [ATTACH] eight years ago. We were fortunate enough to stay inside the compound,...
I love Nomos also, their pre-auction emails are scholarly and amusing at the same time, not an easy thing to accomplish. But like medoraman said,...
Another good entry! The earliest date I've found assigned to the Thasos coins is 500 BC, while the majority of opinions seems to push that back...
I definitely would categorize the Olbian issues as coins, agree that round is not in the definition of a coin. But most sources seem to consider...
Hi everyone, I'm curious as to when dolphins first appeared on ancient coins. The oldest I've come across is the Thera stater, thought to date...

Entry Post -- and thank you for your generosity!
Ah yes, man as a baby, an adult, and an old person with a cane. Hadn't dredged that one up in a while!

No coins this time, but I did get the copy of Lindgren III. I got to meet Professor Lindgren once, late in his life, so am very happy to have the...
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro - Hunter S. Thompson
I am interested, thank you for your kindness. I have lot #23 from the same auction, a didrachm from Taras, Calabria. It would be an honor to...
Entry post and thank you -- for whatever reason, that quarter has never made it to New Orleans and is the only one missing from my set!
My first thought was also Sikyon, and the coin definitely matches the one in the first link provided by Spaniard. My expertise is way below many...
