30 Drachms- a good start to the morning

The best part of waking up, is 30 drachms in your hand.

Wow, what beauties. And signed from the looks of it too?

 

What do the reverses look like?

 

Those are the reverses, technically. Coins are gone from my desk now to take a new photo. Sorry about that.

 

That was quick. I guess you can't hold them in your hand for long

 

I hate you...

 

I don't blame you, if I had coins like those I'd be holding them in my sleep too.

But seriously, wow! How often do you get coins like this across your desk? Not too long ago it was a brace of EID MAR denarii and now this!

 

Not what I was expecting, but this is better!

Honestly, almost every few days there are coins like this. There's also a lot of Constantinian bronzes and Alexander drachms.

Then you get the torture of a pile of Gordy III Ants.

Do people send LRB slugs too?

 

Just for comparison, Friday I sorted 6500 Tabaristan hemidrachms by emperor, and today I have 750 Urbs Roma/Constantinopolis to sort. It's not all Kimon Dekadrachms.

 

I hope you keep record of the list of this very large hoard and communicate it to scholars.
