I emailed last week to ask about the auction and was told they'd sent me an invoice the day before - I never got it, though it's possible I...
That wasn't as amusing as I'd hoped! Here's Euterpe, muse of lyric poetry - Cr. 410/5. [IMG] [IMG] Next - Apollo.
Mine's only a twelfth stater :D (0.84g) [IMG]
Here's a Pomponia Musa with Urania, the muse of astronomy - the star is on the obverse, behind Apollo (or Urania, opinions differ on the gender -...
Thanks, it was in their 29th December auction.
Agreed about Savoca Blue. The descriptions can be minimalist and some coins are mis-identified, but there's value to be had. Here are a few...
Here's a Caracalla from Antioch, Pisidia - BMC 46. At 27.19g and 33mm, I hope it's big enough :D [IMG] Never mind - looks like I've been...

This thread has been bare of late, so here's a perennial favourite, The Waterboys, and my favourite Eraviscan coin. There have been a few threads...
I've got a big plastic bag full of old flips, tickets and envelopes - it will need some work to get it into the state Andrew shows above, but that...
Nice postcards! The Goeben is a bit different from the rest as it had a very long career and was only scrapped in the 1970s (what a waste) ATB,...
Here's a triga, C. 382/1b - its only saving grace is that it's from the Haeberlin Collection, sold in 1933. [IMG] Next... something with an old...
