<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8311389, member: 118780&quot;]Wow. Those are some amazing rarities. In particular the Gordian I and Gordian II are varieties that I&#039;ll probably never acquire, and yours are of outstanding quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>This year so far has been quieter, though decent. The photos of the vast majority of my acquisitions this year I&#039;ve yet to take or upload.</p><p><br /></p><p>My main focus has been my Philip II, Alexander, and the Era of the Diadochi collection, but most of the remaining coins are rare and haven&#039;t come up for auction this year. I have started two other smaller collections, and have picked up a fewer of the easier coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I&#039;ve only purchased three coins at auction so far this year. On one other I was outbid. Of current auctions, there&#039;s one more I intend to bid on. I&#039;ve purchased about 15 more from various VCoins sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1471252[/ATTACH] </p><p style="text-align: center"><font face="Book Antiqua"><font size="4">Thessaly, Pelinna, late 4th to early 3rd centuries BC.
