[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4257933, member: 96635"]Hello everyone, First I hope everyone is doing fine with everything that is going on in the world right now. I had no time and budget to buy any coins for almost 3 months (moving etc.), it was hard, I had some withdrawal symptoms :D, but oh well some things have more priority in life. So far I only had the opportunity to buy coins twice this year, but slowly I have more time now, also to participate in the forum, again, finally. I want to share you my first coins I got in 2020, all within my main collection focuses (Greek Islands and Seleukid Empire): [IMG]https://leunumismatik.com/source/images/auction/20/00670q00.jpg[/IMG] [B]ISLANDS OFF THRACE, Samothrace. 3rd-2nd centuries BC.[/B] Trichalkon (?)
