That's welcome across my screen any day!
Great tet! I'm a sucker for anything Philip II-related, and yours is the perfect type for his "earlier" emission. The star really is a standout, I...
Your example is superb! An equally stunning pedigree to boot, love it. I like to think the portrait on mine mirrors the older busts of Philip...
Wow that's a beaut! I think we're die-buddies for the obverse, and yes the reverse is slightly different, but potentially the same artist, very...
As promised, I've another coin to share today. While it's one many of you will have already seen by now, I think the video further down does it...
Thank you, I promise I've got a few posts in the works now that I'm a little less busy over the holidays. :happy:
Thank you Donna, your posts are always incredibly detailed and a joy to read, and I'm glad at least one person read the descriptions! :)
Amazing selection! I don't know if I'm more impressed by the coins or the provenance :woot:
Thanks! Hahaha I'll try my best not to be! :) I'll admit, it is a little daunting figuring out what to post, considering the amazing coins and...
Thank you, your seal of approval on those two means quite a lot!
As always, a truly breathtakingly beautiful selection, and all very interesting types. #2, 5, and 7 are my favourites, with 4 and 10 close behind....

Thank you, here's to hoping the coming year is better for all of us, especially outside of numismatics :)
Hahaha I suppose you're right there, doesn't hurt that it was somehow the 2nd most affordable of the bunch too! Me too, they're rather unusual in...
Thank you, I try to hedge my bets and pass up on a coin if something bothers me even a little, definitely no regrets thus far and no second...
Thank you! I had a hard time ordering them too, with more than a few reshuffles. The lines are very blurred in the top half of the list, but I...
Great selection! I'm biased towards the greeks, but the romans are all very nice for their respective types. Happy hunting next year!
#2: Erbbina Stater. [ATTACH] Some coins you come across are easy to pass up because you know there will be another chance – maybe next week,...
This is a quick aside, but I feel I should mention that while I’ve been browsing through CoinTalk anonymously admiring all your posts for two...
2 is definitely my favourite, with 3 and 7 being close runners-up. You have a really amazing selection, and I hope there's many more to come in 2021!
