Is that yours? Nice owl!
I don't believe I have any ancient coins showing a woman wearing a sakkos or sphendone, but I do have this, depicting two typical Apulian "Ladies...
But hey, UFO's, right?
The book arrived in the mail today from the UK. So it took only 9 days. Not bad.
I think they could easily have deleted everything beginning with the first post by you-know-who, who never comes here to post about ancient coins,...
To be fair, Stack's does have a number of display cases with coins for sale -- including a couple with ancient coins, both slabbed and unslabbed...

Hey, he's only 79; it's not like he's old or anything! According to his bio, he first went to work for Seaby as an apprentice when he was only 16....
Don't be overly modest, now -- that's way more than "a few," in my opinion! They look fantastic displayed that way.
