That is without doubt my favourite fish to ever appear on any coin. Whatever it sells for, it's worth it.
Love your oktadrachm from Abdera. Haven't seen you post that before. Would like to own one of those too. Those big heavy archaic coins are great....
I might be missing the point here, but I assume most on this site purchase their coins to keep in their collections. Not with a view to reselling...
Just looking at the estimates in the Greek section, seems they were set very low to entice furious bidding.......it worked as it always does....
When I was 9 years old, my mum bought me a coin magazine that had an auction lift out in it. It had an Athenian tetradrachm with Athena wearing a...
Excellent coin. I only have an archaic tetradrachm from Athens, but if I was to get another, one like yours is definitely what I would go for....
I just liked the first post thinking it was from March this year. Then looked closer at the date. Five years ago! You must have quite a collection...
I'm reluctant to show this coin yet again, but it does fill another city in Thrace. Head of Hermes on obverse with city name on petasos. Goat and...

Great score with an awesome provenance. Would like a Bunker Hunt coin one day. Just checked my Hunt catalogue, it isn't photographed, but it...
Beautiful coin Donna, I admire that greatly. You should be very proud of coin and provenance. I also have a coin from the Vicomte de Sartiges...
Great read and excellent variety of coins. But #5 for me thanks. I love the history, mythology and coins of Knossos. I REALLY want a labarynth...
I have no coins to show, but do offer my deepest sympathies. My mum passed away 6 months ago, so have a sense of what you are going through....
Excellent coins and an entertaining read. Well done. My favourite is the Sikyon stater. It's a type I would like but always seem to get outbid...
Number one all the way. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper (I still do), so combining two of my favourite things in the world...
Excellent coins, well done. I collect Greek coins, but I actually like #6, your Caesar coin the best. Nice portrait.
Wow, awesome coins, well done. My favourite is #7, only small, but very attractive. 8 & 3 would be my next choices. And a special mention for...
