I have several coins from Ed with the most recent being about 25 years ago (when our price brackets overlapped a bit more than today) and all were from shows where packaging is a non issue. Regarding the Thasos: I generally assume I have shown every coin I own that is worth showing but I really don't know if I have shown this one. When I bought it from Victor England in 1991 these were IDed as Lete, Macedon. I do not know the arguments and have forgotten most of what I knew in 1991. [ATTACH=full]1228593[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
