My favorite type of Demetrios Poliorketes shows Nike on a prow and Poseidon throwing a trident. The tetradrachms are expensive in high grade so...
The second coin is a man. Women were not shown with laurel wreaths tied behind the head. You read the letters ANTON correctly. Keep looking. I...
edit - I really need to read decimal points carefully. Sorry.
My coins just duplicate those shown. I do have a preference for legible legends so we can read his name. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I like pets who know how to pose....coins are very cooperative. :shame:
Wow, Bing. My first big boy job right after I was graduated from college was $96 a month out of which I had to pay for really snazzy haircuts but...

OK, your text covers mine well except my leftie is a Tyche reverse. I enjoy the great variations in style from this mint. [ATTACH] The type...
I find a good coin support can be made from a used up ball point pen of the type sold at Costco in huge packs with rubber grips to soften the blow...
Is it really necessary for every member to show every coin of every ruler even when the same type has already been shown? Post like this become...
I am sorry for spreading confusion by numbering the picture rather than saying left to right. That page was from 1997; I did not have a Type I...
Before we abandon Tomis and Philip II, let me repeat my 1 1/2 assaria >A with Athena. I became aware of this when I got the coin in 2002 I have...
