<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 7660142, member: 83845&quot;]This thread is vintage [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] excellence. I love the gallery of greatness my friend. </p><p><br /></p><p>The AtG coin that still haunts me is an auction coin I lost due to a computer glitch that kept me from inputting my max bid at the last second (that’s what I get for trying to snipe I guess). It was a Babylon lifetime tetradrachm with an old provenance that was unlisted. I had a lot of research into the coin and the winning bid didn’t come close to what my max would have been. Oh well...</p><p><br /></p><p>For consolation I have these nice coins to keep me company. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1316782[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="3">Kings of Thrace, Macedonian</font></p><p><font size="3">Lysimachus (305-281 BC)</font></p><p><font size="3">AR Tetradrachm, Lampascus mint, struck ca. 297-281 BC</font></p><p><font size="3">Dia.: 31 mm</font></p><p><font size="3">Wt.: 16.5 g</font></p><p><font size="3">Obv.: Diademed bust of deified Alexander right with Horn of Ammon</font></p><p><font size="3">Rev.: ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ Athena Nikphoros seated left with shield and spear.
