<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2704351, member: 74799&quot;]I participated on the last Gemini Auction trying to pick up some of the Alexandrian tetradrachms.&nbsp; A lot of the coins went above the estimation and there were two bidders that gobbled up most of the lots.&nbsp;&nbsp; This was especially true for all the coins that were marked ex-Dattari. I manged to pick up a few&nbsp; lots, so while I categorize them and get them properly attributed, here are two that I just finished:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Egypt, Alexandria: Gallienus (253-268 CE) Æ Tetradrachm, RY 14 (Köln 2932-3; Dattari (Savio) 5283; Milne 4145; Curtis Emmett 3802)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: <i>AVT K Π ΛIK ΓAΛΛIHNOC CЄB</i>; laureate and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev: Eagle standing left, head right, holding wreath in beak, L IΔ before, palm behind</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Former collection of the Art Institute of Chicago</i></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_K%F6ln-2932.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Egypt, Alexandria: Valerian I (253-260 CE) Æ Tetradrachm, RY 4 (Köln 2867; Dattari (Savio) 5174; Milne 3936-38; Curtis 1520; Emmett 3721)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: <i>A K Π ΛI OVAΛEPIANOC EV EVC</i>; bust laureate, cuirassed right, fold of cloak on front shoulder, Medusa head on cuirass</p><p>Rev: Tyche seated upon a throne left, holding a rudder in her right hand &amp; cornucopia in her left hand, in field <i>LΔ</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Former collection of the Art Institute of Chicago </i></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_K%F6ln-2867.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your coins from either the auction, Alexandria, or whatever rocks your boat <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
