Its been very pleasing to read! The Alexander coinage is an very interesting period. Even after collecting them for couple of years, i still learn new things! plus they are just a beauty to look at with all the different styles and mints. Which is wat also makes them so interesting @robinjojo What a wonderful coin! Thats portrait is really lovely.

Cool fact about a lot of Alexander tets in this auction is that is that they were used my Lloyd Taylor in his studies! it was a great selection of tetradrachms in this auction. I managed to grabbed the Salamis one. Sadly struck out on some others.

This is gold.

My latest win came in today. https://streamable.com/o4wiqj awesome Alexander tetradrachm from Salamis, Nikokreon, late lifetime issue.

My latest three wins. Alexander tetradrachm from Tarsus. Found provenance on it from NAC 1993. Syracause tetradrachm. Alexander tetradrachm from Salamis.

my newest addition to my Dutch coinage collection. A neat big silver coin from the Dutch, when being ruled by French. A 50 stuiver piece, with the portrait of Louis Napoleon // Lodewijk Napoleon (Dutch name). Brother of the famous French ruler. He was a decent ruler, he even learned Dutch and showed sympathy with the Dutch after disasters. His brother thought he was too soft. Its a heavy piece coming in at 26+ grams of silver. With a superb controlmark of a big bee!

And to continue my previous post. Same auction win. Auction photo: and my hastily taken video of it: https://streamable.com/5l1dqz This makes it my 15th Alexander tetradrachm! Pleased with how the collection is growing and taking shape.

My recent win came in today. Auction photo: Vid: https://streamable.com/gsatwb Another for the tray!

That is one great owl! Even if it is most famous ancient coin there is, its still a great piece of history and one chunky coin to own. Hoot Hoot. 🦉

Nice one!

Lovely write ups, i enjoy reading them ! Thank you for writing them.

This is the way i do it too. Work fine for me but i would like to try some other ways like suggested in this thread. Thats a great Alexander btw!

Nice! I had it on my watchlist, but could not bid at that time. I also collect the same way you do.

Was this the one from the last Roma? Neat coin. Janus if i remember correctly!

Nice set! 😄 Quick shot, because im packing bags for holiday but could not resist making this picture! With a bunch of Caracalla, ones of my favs. My whole Severan set, including the wifes, except for Faustina, third wife of Elagabalus. Also includes Clodius Abinus, Macrinus and Dia.
