I don't like them. They are just too perfect. No smoothing and no tooling, and plenty of beautiful original patina left on them. Whatever happened to the joy of getting ancient Bronzes that have been remanufactured from F to XF, and coated with nice modern fake patina? I say you should send them to Z at Vcoins for a nice tooled/smooth treatment followed by a nice glued yellow desert patina, or A for a glorious modern orange patina job. If you've made it this far...that was satire. I actually love the OP coins for the fact that there has been zero attempt at tampering with them to "make them look better." It's nice seeing honest bronze coins like that. They are lovely. I hope you are proud of owning them...I know I would.
Nice coins, looks like you had a good day. I like that you posted the paper flips with the coins. Someone has excellent lettering skills.
These are some great coins Ziggy! The Seleucids are very nice examples; I would like to own a SI Nicator myself with that butting bull. The Sikyon is also very attractive. More so because I haven't found the right one for me to pull the trigger on yet. A very very nice group overall.
