I have my eye on a couple of Hunt coins coming up for auction shortly. Would love the provenance. They are nice coins, but going to be costly I feel.
They only have sales every two or three years. But when they do, wow, amazing quality. A NGSA provenance is a nice one to have. I won't be...
I agree with Joe. This tetradrachm is one of the first 'pricey' coins I bought. Really wanted a coin from Rhodes, and this was a decent price, but...
I've bought three coins through HJB buy or bid sales, and on each occasion bought the coin outright. The really big advantage of buying outright...
This is my only coin with Poseidon on it. Stater from Poseidonia in Lucania c. 440 - 430 BC.. [ATTACH]
Sorry to bump up an old thread. Gone into another lockdown so been catching up on some reading. Ancient Joe showed a magnificent coin of the...

I would pick an Athenian Dekadrachm. In particular the Kunstfreund/Bunker Hunt coin. It's the coin that got me excited about ancient Greek coins...
Knowing CNG's photos, I can pretty much guarantee it'll look even better in hand than the photo. Looks a very attractive piece.
Seriously......auto correct. Hasn't the internet heard of a trite??
My two cents worth......well actually a stater and tribe's worth. First a stater from Cyzicus with Athena on the obverse and secondly a trite...
Thanks guys. Just got up and checked my emails, it's there. Appreciate the replies.
Thanks for the replies. I shall wait patiently :)
For those of you who won in the NAC auctions, have you received your invoice yet? Won a lot in sale 124, but no email yet. Will be a week tonight,...
Yeah, insane prices on the top quality Greek coins. I had my main target in the Nomos sale, but it went well over what I could afford. Then the...
I'm quite happy my wife has no interest in my collecting. I enjoy just sitting quietly looking at my coins, thinking to myself about their history...
