Personally, I like their antiquities but am not always crazy about their stock of ancient coins, which I think are sometimes a bit overpriced given their condition. (Although I did buy one Republican coin from them recently, and am quite pleased with it.) Here's one artifact I bought there a few years ago: Egypt, large (70 mm.) pale blue/green faience papyrus pillar/scepter amulet, suspension loop at top, break repaired in middle, Late Period, c. 664-323 BCE. Multiple images in one photo: [ATTACH=full]1273547[/ATTACH] And here's an original Eye of Horus amulet, with the original coloring well-preserved, which I bought at the Harmer Rooke Gallery in New York City in January 1983. Egypt, faience amulet, Eye of Horus (Uzat Eye), green with brown relief, 26th Dynasty, ca.525 BCE. 34 mm. W x 24 mm. H. [ATTACH=full]1273550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
