<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24599264, member: 26430&quot;]That&#039;s a pretty cool collection! I love Greek AR fractions and have made them a significant portion of my collection in recent years. The issue, of course, is always how to store / display them.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few favorites:</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can hang in until the end, this video rewards with increasingly tiny specimens over the course of ~79 seconds:</p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]hAE8qElchxI[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Pair of cute Helmet &amp; Bull Hemiobols from BCD Lokris-Phokis Collection:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1562892[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Caria Hemitetartemorion (only 4mm, 0.12g!). </p><p>Probably early 4th cent.

That actually wouldn&#039;t be too different from the way many museums keep most of their coins. (Most use little rectangular open boxes, sometimes with a little cotton and/or paper labels, all arranged in drawers so they can be easily removed one-at-a-time for examination.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
