    It's good to see such a phenomenal list specialized on "Eastern" ancient coins.

    I have to say that I like the Lydian siglos (#2) best. Both its condition and style are exceptional.

    I really like the Achaemenid Siglos for the quality of detail and strike. Have been looking for a decent one for a while now, without success. Even with the counterstamp it has great eye appeal.

    The Mithradates II drachm too is very attractive. Lots of detail. Great buys

    As others have said, just excellent detail on the siglos (#2). I also really like the quality of the Mithradates II drachm (#5), great coin. These are all outside my usual collecting area, but I really enjoyed these, beautiful group of coins.

    I have a coin that looks very much like your #8 that I have catalogued as "Sellwood 54.14". Is that not right?

    Well done @Alwin. All of the coins are great, the siglos is so detailed on the obverse and the Parthians are quite the group.

    The difference between the drachm #8 and a S.54.14 is on the reverse:
    S.54.14: eagle behind archer and monogram of Mithradatkart.
    #8: Star behind the head of the archer and Monogram of Nisa.

    Fantastic year @Alwin . I especially like your siglos. It is rare to find such a realistically styled example. Great coin and great list.
