[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 755230, member: 4381"]I ran down to Phili today to see the ancient Ur acheological works of art, which have fascinated me for decades because they have maybe the only collection of real Sumerian art in North America including excavations from Ur. But what surprised me was, and I could kick myself for not having my camera with me, they have the most complete and perfect collection of Ancient Western Coinage from the Lydian electrum, on through the Roman period This is a must see trip for any coin collector. [url]http://www.penn.museum/sites/greek_world/index.html[/url] There is barely an online mention of this...but I'm telling you it is one of the most important collections in the world. Bring a loup with you when you go. [IMG]http://www.penn.museum/sites/greek_world/images/pottery_big-63.gif[/IMG][/QUOTE]
