Your pictures are adequate- decent, even- though the first two could stand to have the extra black space at top and bottom cropped. Sorry, but...
Now I have an Alexandrian tetradrachm, finally, and another ancient to add to my tiny sampling of them in the Eclectic Box. It's also nice to...

Nope, or I'd have been hunting for descendants instead of buyers from the get-go, instead of being prodded into it. Glad it worked out the way it...
