<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2746001, member: 19463&quot;]I got about halfway through your lead in and was feeling really guilty I did not bid on the Gemini lots I found interesting (not the A-Pi) because I assumed the average would be like the three you showed at the end.&nbsp; I migh have had I not spent too much already this year.&nbsp; I loved that Zeus head TIF took first.&nbsp; Then I came to the information that I found hilarious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Understand I only have four A-Pi drachms.&nbsp; One of them is below.&nbsp; I would have been more than a little upset if the best coin in my lot was one I already had. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]627843[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Moving on to Z&#039;s group:&nbsp; When I saw his Isis in temple I was amazed that it happened again but it turned out I was wrong.&nbsp; One of my four is a temple but has Serapis instead of Isis.&nbsp; Too close for comfort.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]627844[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Since you have so many coins, I have a request.&nbsp; Of my A-Pi coins my favorite is this obol.&nbsp; It is high grade but that is not why I like it.&nbsp; I can&#039;t ID in to Emmett number but that could be because I am calling it a modius rather than a vase.&nbsp; What is odd? Alexandrian bronzes all have a tapered flan from being struck on blanks poured into cups.&nbsp; They almost all have the flat side on the reverse and the taper on the obverse.&nbsp; Do any of your hoard have this reversal?&nbsp; I have had this coin for a long time.&nbsp; You could not tool this feature into a low grade coin.&nbsp; What is going on here?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]627847[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;d be worried more except look at this coin CNG sold:</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=229580" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=229580" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=229580</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
