<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24677024, member: 26430&quot;]OH! I forgot, you can only edit for 30 minutes! Oh well, I&#039;ll reply with all at once, but that&#039;s a great start. Three excellent examples from the collections of BCD, David Hendin, and Archer Huntington/Hispanic Society of America/American Numismatic Society! Thanks for sharing them, [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER] !</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got one of the smaller AEs from the same city, Krannon, also from the BCD Coll (<a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=198725" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=198725" rel="nofollow">Thessaly II 952.2</a>):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1574059[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But unfortunately someone lost the tag between the original sale and when I got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I do have a lot of the &quot;V. ex Thess.&quot; ones! From 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, a 1985 &quot; &quot;V.,&quot; Thess., Oct. 1985, 2000 drs.&quot; (the earliest &amp; only one I&#039;ve noticed w/ V in quotes or in Greek Drachmas not DM?), other years I&#039;m sure. Notice my Pharkadon AR Obol is also &quot;V. ex Thess. Apr 94&quot; and purchased in the same currency (DM/Deutsche Marks), so it sounds like he bought our two coins together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few more of my BCD tags from Thessaly, Phalanna (I have ~50 total, but there are people out there with literally thousands):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1574060[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe &quot;ex Thess.&quot; must mean some kind of single surface find in Thessaly. (Hoards are usually given a specific phrase, though I think he used &quot;Thessalian Lot&quot;&nbsp; for <i>CH8</i>.132: “Phalanna (?), Greece, 1991” Hoard.)</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also all the &quot;T/ne ex. Thess.,&quot; &quot;C.C. ex Thess.&quot; and others (incl. just &quot;Ex Thess.&quot;) in different currencies, so those may be particular sellers (as opposed to methods of find/acquisition).</p><p><br /></p><p>Some day I&#039;ll finally contact the BCD Library and start seeing how much they&#039;re willing to reveal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
