<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 6392411, member: 83845"]Yes, I was on a coin purchasing hiatus for most of 2020. I am back to buying and participating and already have several new coins that I need to photograph and share so I should be more engaged this year. I am looking forward to AMCC3. Sorry to hear that it is causing you to have less CoinTalk time! Photographing and cataloging auction coins seems like it would make for a very worthwhile extra-credit activity for students to allow you some more time for leisure coining. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I did indeed pick up another coin from that sale that I posted earlier this year.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-ancient-coin-showing-homer.372889/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an-ancient-coin-showing-homer.372889/">An Ancient Coin Showing Homer</a></b></font></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1253094[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Ionia, Smyrna</font></p><p><font size="3">Menophilos Krabaus, magistrate.</font></p><p><font size="3">Ae Homereium, struck ca. 105-95 BC</font></p><p><font size="3">Dia.: 21 mm</font></p><p><font size="3">Wt.: 7.05 g</font></p><p><font size="3">Obv.: Laureate head of Apollo right</font></p><p><font size="3">Rev.: ΣΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ MHNOΦIΛOΣ KPABAYΣ.</font></p><p><font size="3">Homer, holding scroll and resting chin upon hand, seated left on plinth; sceptre behind</font></p><p><font size="3">Ref.: Milne 1927, 294</font></p><p><font size="3">Ex Plankenhorn Collection of Ionian Coins</font></p><p><br /></p><p>For a collection as extensive as this one was I have not been able to find anything online about the collection or collector.
