<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4609896, member: 26302"]I have always semi-hated the geographical organization of "Greek" coins. Its somewhat understandable, yet I collect a lot of oddball things. Colchis is placed weird in the order. Greek geography is tough, being mainly city-states, and I never know where to look really. I wished they used computers better in auctions and had "greek" lots sortable alphabetically and geographically. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen a coin sold a couple of months after the fact, a coin I would have bid on but did not see it in the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't even get me started on Cleopatra VII coins. Can we simply DECIDE what group her coins fall in, and ignore the historical niceties, "well this one is Greek because of X, while this one is provincial, while THIS one is Imperial".
