Got my fix on Ancient Greek and Roman coins

Went to our fall coin club show this past weekend. I visited my favorite ancients dealer to view his selection. He just got a collection in and I was in heaven. I purchased 9, four are Greek and the other 5 Roman. The beauty of each coin just blows me away.

The photos are not very good and I’m currently swamped with other projects. When I get time I will provide better photos.

Great pick ups!
I haven't been to a coin show since 2019 now. Almost 2 full years. I'm looking forward to going to the Baltimore Whitman show next month with FFIVN and hopefully picking up some new ancients.

 

I had time to break out one coin. It has some problems but I really like it.

Greek Luciana Vella
334 to 300 BC
Obj: Athena
Rev: lion devouring a rams head
Silver Nomos

 

Tonight’s coin is

Greek Thessaly Krannon
3rd century DC
OBJ; Poseidon
Rev: Horseman galloping

 

Greek
Sikyon, pelo Ponnesos
Circa 265 to 299 BC
Obj. Dove flying
Rev, “SI” in wreath

 

I really like this design. I picked one up on the cheap earlier this year

 

Very nice. I felt I purchased these at a very reasonable price.
