@Ed Snible -- You have no idea how glad I am to hear that! We "spoke" about how hard it is to find Klein a couple years ago (here or Reddit, where...
I'm sure it's fair to call it rare (it's absent from most collections & minor references), but my hunch is that if 3 have appeared at auction in...
Oh! Apologies: Once again, I read too quickly. You said you acquired it mid-1990s. Noticing that, it could show up in a Coin Hoards report (i had...
Oh, that's the rare type of Krannon Hydria coin with Poseidon/Zeus on the obverse and two crows on the reverse. (The more common bronze is the one...
I don't think ACSearch membership will help with this one -- I highly doubt the provenance extends before 2000. (I should add that it's well worth...
Edited -- read too quick again! Trying to figure out who K.E. Mayo is... Looks like this guy:...
I see -- I read too quickly! So, it's a plate coin + inscribed "association copy," still a fantastic little nugget of numismatic literary history....
Glad you posted that -- I had been using the .net domain to look at your Palaeologan articles, hadn't realized the glebecoins.org site was out...
Just commenting again to add... Another way to think of it: No one else on Earth will ever have that combination unless you sell the book (since,...
Oh, my, that is a truly fantastic combination! The holy grail of provenance collecting (at least for this provenance collector) is to have (a)...
Yes, that's the one given by Forum and in the other thread here on Etenna (linked from my comment above), but is there any source for it? I...
It's described as "very rare" on your coin's listing and the two others that are easy to find on ACSearch:...
Great example of a very cool -- albeit mysterious -- type. This type is discussed on p. 16 in Nicholas Victor Sekunda's article on "Anatolian War...
I was planning to sit out today's CNG e-Auction but couldn't pass this up. Don't mind admitting I got it for less than half my max bid. CNG & the...
Another recently acquired (Nomos 29) little silver bull, this one from Thessaly Krannon: [ATTACH] Thessaly, Krannon AR Obol (11.5mm, 0.97g,...
Yes, indeed! I'm recording your specimen in my notes, too! Mine is a bit more worn, so yours illustrates even better one of the really remarkable...
Ancient Errors can be pretty fun. I don't usually "collect" them, but I do like having a range of examples, and find them helpful for...
I don't have one single method, but I usually have them in two containers. (Or in big groups inside bags/boxes for ones I don't consider...
So, I think my hunch in the comment above was right, that the lion coin (Mylasa/Miletos) was actually the one that weighed 0.25g and not the ram...
As someone who collects Greek fractions, that first coin is very nice for the size. (But is it possible you switched the weights? 0.38 would be...
