<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8243288, member: 26430&quot;]What a great pair of coins from BCD Thess. II -- I love that the chain of custody for each can be traced virtually completely to their discovery. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what the &quot;Franke Hoard&quot; is. I don&#039;t see any other references to it, but I&#039;d assume Franke = PRF = Dr. Peter Robert Franke. Being a prominent scholar of Greek coins, maybe at some point he acquired and cataloged a hoard of League Staters without a known findspot, and BCD named it after him.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got at least one Thessalian coin that was BCD&#039;s from Franke in 1979 (a Phalanna bronze, so not from this hoard), and I&#039;ve seen quite a few others noted, so clearly they were in regular contact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
