<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 4899135, member: 106483&quot;]Who knows what rare and important coins are squirreled away unknown to the wider world , often by those who should know better:the Eid Mar aureus being the latest obvious example. In my academia.edu works of genius on the NewStyle there is one called <a href="https://www.academia.edu/41498701/Some_new_coin_types_in_the_early_Athens_New_Style_silver_coinage_Jan_2020_Update" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/41498701/Some_new_coin_types_in_the_early_Athens_New_Style_silver_coinage_Jan_2020_Update" rel="nofollow">Some new coin types in the early Athens New Style silver coinage-Jan 2020 Update</a>.</p><p>Here I searched through all the sources available to me to see what has changed in the early NewStyles since NSCCA. Early NewStyles are perceived as rare,formative coins by me, some are only known by sub types of one example, eg obverse T1 and obverse T2 of Thompson #1 of which there is one reverse each whilst my research expanded obverse T3 to 8 different reverses. No new obverses of #1 are known.</p><p>Not true of Thompson #2 though, I spotted a new obverse which had seemingly not been noticed-though obvious- by its previous owners and auctioneers!</p><p>What is the point-why did they have this coin since they had not noticed its uniqueness-I guess it just looked good.</p><p>Now the last early NewStyle Thompson #5 was known from only 1 example in NSSCA in 1961 and in the possession of the ANS. the next year another was discovered in a pot hoard in Kilkis-the same obverse as the ANS example but a new reverse. Now in a museum somewhere.</p><p>The next surfaced in the famous and important Demetrios l hoard 2003 described in Coin Hoards X by Cathy Lorber with a new obverse and reverse with only 1 palm!</p><p>And&nbsp; in 2019 Roma e55 sale produced one from an English Collector that has a new obverse and reverse, (thus unique),. Where it surfaced from and when is lost to all, it is in excellent condition.</p><p>Fully published, of course, it is mine...all mine, cackle cackle.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1182193[/ATTACH]</p><p>it shows that the issue is larger than long thought and there is even an imitation in an earlier style.</p><p>Enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
