Congratulations! That's a particularly fine styled example.
I was outbid on a couple of the top coins in the sale with bids of 10x+ the estimate with prices that I'd say were uniformly strong. A few dealers...
Wow! That's a stunning five year anniversary gift. Is a 1794 $1 in the cards for a 10 year anniversary?
For me, price does not necessarily result in more enjoyment. There is a correlation that some of my favorite coins are among my more expensive but...
Incidentally, that was one of my biggest grail coins and is still in my top five favorites. Finding a 1910 pedigree after buying it made it all...
Congratulations! Crossing a coin off of your list after that long must be very satisfying!
I've fallen quite far behind on posting new purchases. Here are a couple recent ones: An Alexander distater (16 grams, not the usual 8) [ATTACH]...
Thanks, I appreciate the compliments!
I think it was a bit of both. It sold one more time in the middle for $48K which is probably more around where it should be priced today. I was...
Thanks! It's about 10mm in diameter and very thin (as obols generally are). I've toyed with a side-collection specifically of obols due to how...

Great coin, panzerman. Here's some of its siblings: Berenike ($33K, although it previously sold for $78K) [ATTACH] Ptolemy III ($25K): [ATTACH]...
Wow! That's fascinating. What an intriguing coin.
There's a lot of "bang for your buck" at this price range, with a wide range of coins falling into it. Here are a few of mine: [ATTACH] ~$9K,...
That's an absolutely fabulous coin, as well as the others in this thread!
Great coin! Open doors are my favorite as well. A $20 bronze campgate was one of my first ancient coins and I was instantly enamored with the...
That would indeed be quite helpful. We should start a separate thread each for Athens owls, Alexander tetradrachms, Tarentum nomoi, COL NEMs,...
A truly fabulous and very well-matched set. Your Caesar portrait was a steal and I also love your IMPER RECEPT. My favorite of your aurei has...
Overwhelmingly, the coins you have to stretch for are the ones you should stretch for. There are several times where I've kicked myself for being...
Constraining yourself to portrait sestertii makes sense but does introduce another level of difficulty. Best of luck tracking down a suitable example!
