  1. How on earth are you able to get such well defined photos.
  2. Impressive example, wish I had obtained this coin.
  3. My unscientific system for reading auction Cats. With no sizes is via weight 8-10g low 20s diameter, 10-16g. Mid - to high , over 18g, 30mm plus diameter
  4. Outstanding example, well done.
  5. I do like the patina on this coin.
  6. Galatia, Ancyra, Commodus. 16.65.g. 31mm, RPC. IV.3. Online 5688.
  7. Outstanding selection, I’m very envious.
  8. My example is Phrygia, Apameia, pseudo-autonomous circa 193-218., 2.59g, 16mm, Athena / river god Maiandros. . BMC 116; SNG Munchen 132.
  9. Nomos auction sale 4, coins from Thessaly, the BCD collection. Lot 1184 is close.
  10. I just double checked 1440 “Barelycorn or Eagle to right” . SNG. Copenhagen, has 729 and 727 for the issues.
  11. I had the coin for some time to help train the eye in spotting tooling, now I’m able I hope to spot tooling. Of course I never read the auction description carefully it had mentioned the tooling.
  12. Syracuse, AE, Time of Timoleon. HGC 2. 1440. When coin arrived I realized the obverse is heavily tooled, I realized why the coin was at a very reasonable price. 😭The coin has been passed on to another collector.
  13. Syracuse, time of Dionysionsi 405-367 BC. AE Drachm 33gm, head of Athena/ star between two dolphins. Ex collection Paul Rabin, for a rather mournful article on his life see coinweekly website.
  14. Thank you everyone for your advice, much appreciated.
  15. Can anyone help what’s the best app. Software for combining obverse and reverse of a coin photo into one photo.
  16. When I purchased this coin it was catalogue as a portrait of Apollo which I considered strange at the time
  17. Syracuse, time of Hiketas, circa 287-278 BC. 9.7gm, 30mm. SNG ANS 803-7, HGC 1449. I really enjoy the patina on this coin. last year I done well on Sicilian Greek bronze but this year nothing so far any thing in reasonable condition I get blown away at auction need another David Freedman type collection to appear.
  18. How very interesting, will 3D copies of unobtainable coins become collectible ?.
  19. Circa 420-405 BC, 3.89g, 16mm. good very fine. Jenkins, Gela. Group VIII-IX 498, HGC 2, 379. part of my small selection of Greek bronze from Sicily.
  20. Kings of Paphlagonia, Pylaimenes II/III Euergetes. 17mm, 3.9g. SNG Von Aulock 150.
