Per CNG: Ancient Greek coinage can be divided into three periods that generally conform to the traditional periods of Greek art. The earliest...
I was going to add it to the Totally Looks Like thread but forgot it's already there. Good one :D
Nice to see you again, @ancientnut! Great coins :)
The provenance alone must be worth a fortune :D. We're Dido Buddies now :joyful::joyful: I guess I'd better remove the coin from my website :(.
Hmm, that's a toughie. My first thought is that it may not be ancient-- maybe it is a fantasy piece. Something about the style looks off. I...
Bing grade?? Not sure what that means, but the new coin definitely fits seamlessly into the Mat Collection. Nice examples, everyone!

Wow, we all cost each other quite a bit of money, eh? :D Thanks for that historical blurb, Bing. I hadn't read it before. Steve's doubleduck...
When you get around to attributing this I think you'll find that it is not Philip II. ;)
Wow, much better! @dlhill132, you have some fabulous coins but often the images are too dark to see any details :(
:oops: Only because AJ and a few others haven't brought out their big guns. :D
It really would be fun to discuss coins currently being auctioned, but the actual bidders wouldn't find it so amusing. Too bad, because it would...
I recommend not posting coins which are currently up for auction, for reasons which have been stated on CoinTalk many times: Another CoinTalk...
