Many thanks @Sulla80 -- I'll check these out!
I agree the top two share an obverse die but I think they have three different reverse dies (unless one of the has been reengraved). I'm comparing...
Interesting topic! I will confess to knowing much less about the League/Koinon/Federation coins than I would like to (especially the Thessalian,...
I’ve been experimenting with various styles and uses of “provenance charts” (illustrating a single coin’s history; or focusing on a specific...
Wow, I really love these error examples! Very dramatic. I always find it a bit challenging to imagine why just some parts of the die tend to be...
I haven't noticed ads myself, so I can't complain. But that's a fantastic "captives" type that I was unaware of. The irony of labeling captives...
Just FYI you can generally just take a photo with your camera phone in that situation (that's what I do). Had to do all of what you describe when...

Caria, Uncertain is quite the frequent attribution. Koray Konuk has written about a lot of the Carian mints and a lot of the uncertain coins. I...
Oh wow, holy cow, just noticed how nice those drachms look Donna! Very well chosen group!
Congratulations! I feel like I saw this in the CNG auction but it doesn't seem to be up in the archive yet (or coinarchives or acsearch.info or...

Oh, that's rather frustrating. (Did they mention CNG or "A. Short Collection" in their listing?) EDIT: Oops asked & answered! I figure the most...
Does anything in my new Titus group look familiar to anyone (beside @Orfew who's already aware that I got these!)? Illustrated below with many of...
