[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 24849504, member: 110226"]Thanks! I keep telling myself enough is enough with owls, but for some reason they keep showing up at my door! Thanks! I am beginning to collect in a more concentrated manner, at least for me, the new style owls. Given the large number of magistrates, symbols, month/control letter combinations in Thompson's epic work, I'll never be able to assemble even a semi representative collection. They are very pricey now, drawing very healthy bids at auctions for even halfway decent examples. The same applies to the massive field of Alexander III and successor tetradrachms. The Amphipolis coin is almost a one-off for me. Had my local dealer not shown it to me earlier this year, it wouldn't be on the 2023 list. I just love the portrait styling on the obverse. My Kushan coins, what few I have, are bronze, except for the gold dinar. As a type collector, I am pretty sure this will be the only one. The Sabina tetradrachm is indeed lovely, the best Alexandria tetradrachm that I own. Happy holidays and 2024! Thanks! I've always enjoy the coins that you've posted, Bing, and look forward to your contributions next year![/QUOTE]
