<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3366560, member: 76194&quot;]After more than 3 months of coin draught, here is an ex. Bing Crosby <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> beauty I just picked up at auction from our dear friend and famous golden age singer [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t going to buy anything until around March, but sometimes you just see something you&#039;ve got to have. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]892993[/ATTACH]</p><p>AEOLIS, AIGAI</p><p>AE 10</p><p>OBVERSE: Laureate head of Apollo right</p><p>REVERSE: Head and neck of a goat, AIΓAE behind</p><p>Struck at Aigai, 300-200BC</p><p>.9g, 10mm</p><p>SNG von Aulock 1593; SNG Copenhagen 1</p><p>Ex: Bing</p><p><br /></p><p>The Apollo portrait on this tiny Greek beauty is superb, and the crazy drunk goat head on the reverse really caught my eyes. I love the style in which that goat was rendered. I also have a soft side for tiny coins, with around 30 coins in my collection being 10mm or under. And being able to say I have an Ex. Bing coin was also a huge plus, given the respect and admiration I have for Bing as a member of this forum. How could I pass such a desperately pretty little coin from such a great collector?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Feel free to post any coins you deem relevant.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Spuds MacKenzie is a total amateur compared to my drunk goat.
