Xeno Posted December 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, I appreciated you guys giving me information on this coin show and figured I’d share my trophies. First is a coin from Leukae, Ionia, purchased from Michael Beyaziff for $30, I had a lot of great conversation with him and got to ogle his entire collection for a long time so it felt right to make a purchase. Love the swan design so she is a nice little addition to my collection. Leukae, Ionia, AE10mm 1.28g, Laureate head of Apollo left / Swan standing left, head back to right, ΛEO. Sear 4472 Second coin was purchased from Musa Numismatic Art for $49, a worn denarius of Domitian, I don’t have as many denarii as I would like and I liked the design especially the upside down legend. Domitian, 81-96 A.D. AR Denarius. Rome Mint, struck 82 A.D. Obverse: Laureate head right, IMP CAES DOMITIANVS AVG P M Reverse: Throne of Jupiter and Juno: square seat, draped, with tassels, surmounted by a winged thunderbolt. TR POT COS VIII P P 17mm, 3.20g Edited December 10, 2023 by Xeno 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPK Posted December 10, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2023 Nice coins! I like that the Domitian denarius is a more unusual reverse type. The little Greek AE is attractive as well. Looks like you had a good time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best parts was looking at the Leu Numismatik auction catalogs, they are so well made and gorgeous, incredibly well done hardcover books. He agreed to send me a few for free, worth it for that alone those catalogs are so wonderfully done, wish I had taken pictures to share. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love looking through those types of auction catalogs. CNG has been sending me their Feature and Triton auction catalogs for a couple years now - just got their Triton XXVII catalog - 450 pages of beautiful color photos and detailed descriptions. 🤩 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted December 10, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted December 10, 2023 A couple of nice pick ups @Xeno. If I was still living in the Bay Area (moved to Washington last year) I would have attended. I am making a trip there in January but the timing for December didn't match my schedule of things to do when I am down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
