wow- Congrats on all those posts @Alegandron ! And your coins are beautiful as well, goes without saying. Here is the latest to post with the theme of the Divine Twin as the Dioscuri as well as Apollo & Diana and her arrows as the sacred comets. Those divine messengers that connect ancient soul lineages of initiation: Denar 42 v. Chr. Römische Republik P.

Gorgeous collection John! Awesome. My favorite and as one of my eventual targets, is your Philip II. Historically, I feel that he was one of the greatest minds. Best, Brian
I will be cheering you on, when you get that Philip II Stater My theory is, go for it, you should always add coins you really cherish. I did that for the Sweden/Riga coin. At the time it was "unaffordable" 10K back in 1980s. But I borrowed the $ from my Dad, turned out OK. Kunker recently sold a not quite as nice an example for 220K Euros. Proves that people in the 99 percent can have nice coin collections, like the bigshot collectors
