I agree with @John Anthony. I took a cursory look and the coins look ok to me, but some of the pieces of exonumia may be a bit sketchy.
Interesting coin @Pavlos. Haven't seen that one. I've only had one coin of Gortyna over the years. Here it is: Crete, Gortyna AR Drachm...
After seeing the coin, and reading the write-up, of ancientcoinguru I thought there was absolutely no way anyone could beat that ........ then...
@S J Mansfield : Thank you very much for the link to that site. It finally gives me some answers as regards to this issue. As long as I have you...

Here's a Domitian quadrans example that passed through my hands. Nice rhino on this one. [ATTACH]
Thanks. It appears the Aradian year zero is 260BC. One thing about ancients, you are always learning something new.
Quick question: I know the Greek system of dating is based on the following: [ATTACH] The Seleucid coin I showed has a three letter date of ΔOP...
Yep. The only one that went directly to my collection.
Saw those. More coins I couldn't afford.
Spent the day at the FUN show. Saw some very interesting and rare ancients, none of which I could afford, but I did come away with some nice...
I'll be there on Thursday and probably Friday. As to parking: make sure you tell the attendant you are going to the FUN show. You get lower rates...
Thanks to both TheRed and David@PCC for taking the time to look at this coin. Very much appreciated.
