[QUOTE="Archilochus, post: 3156517, member: 96154"]Hi all, I noticed that the last few CNG electronic auctions have had loads of high-grade Alexander drachms from the "drachm mints" of Abydos, Lampsakos, Miletos, etc in the 325-317 BCE time frame. The auction posted today (closing Aug 22) has over 100 of them. Does that signal that a new hoard has come on to the market? Or is it more likely a deep collection being sold? Or perhaps it's something more mundane, like inventory management?... I also noticed the last few auctions have had staters of Monounios, which are supposed to be pretty rare, so the same question applies: new hoard, or what? Apologies if this is a dumb question - I've only been collecting a couple years and don't know all the ropes.[/QUOTE]
