CPK Posted December 23, 2023 · Supporter Posted December 23, 2023 Beautiful coins, as always! 🤩 Quote
panzerman Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Author Posted December 23, 2023 Thank you CPK! This year I was able to add some really neat items from auction "unsold" aftermarket coins. Sometimes a coin that remains unsold in one auction/ could go 5X estimate in other more well known one like Künker/ CNG/ Leu/ Morton & Eden///// John Quote
lordmarcovan Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Posted December 23, 2023 I really like that last one. The eagle looks a bit like a parrot there. 1 1 Quote
Cordoba Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Posted December 23, 2023 the Mytilene hekte is my favorite. great list! 1 Quote
Qcumbor Posted December 23, 2023 · Supporter Posted December 23, 2023 The last two are my favorites. I wouldn't mind having any of them though Q 1 Quote
Di Nomos Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Posted December 23, 2023 Very nice coins of course. If I had to pick three, it would be the Kyrene obol, Salamis 1/10 stater and the trite from Ionia with the interesting reverse inscriptions. 1 Quote

John Roman World after Christmas. John, You've acquired some wonderful examples of the world's earliest coinage, & these 10 additions compliment that group 🤩! My favorites strictly for aesthetic reasons are #10, the electrum hekte with Apollo-Kernelos & Eagle, # 1, the electrum hemihekte with Bull & Tuna, & #9, the electrum hekte with the head of Dionysus facing left 😍. 2 Quote
ambr0zie Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Posted December 23, 2023 Champion League coins, who wouldn't like this... If I was to choose 3 favorites I would go for Kyrenaica/ Kyrene; Cyprus/ Salamis; Lesbos/ Mytilene with my favorite being Salamis. Just asking - is that a man headed goat or a "normal" goat? for me it looks normal and I checked for similar examples, they were described as forepoart of goat / he-goat recumbent/kneeling. Anyway if you don't like these coins and want to get rid of them (any), I volunteer myself to keep them, no problems on my side, I can send you my address. 1 Quote
I_v_a_n Posted December 23, 2023 · Member Posted December 23, 2023 Congratulations, John! Your list and @AncientJoe are always the most desirable for me to see. Thank you for sharing! For me the most interesting coin is your No. 7 EL trite, this type was a subject for my studies with cuneiforms. Nos. 2 and 10 are also very beautiful for me. 2 Quote

I went by Roma description (which stated it was a man-headed Goat????) Check out: Roma XXVII/ lot 317. However/ I think they are wrong/ you are right! I my have to make a correction on data label. I looked up on data base/ 4 Male goats/ 2 manheaded/goats=normal goats win! John 1 Quote

It's amazing how much cheaper things are when you don't have to convert the currency. The AUD sucks against everything (except the CAD maybe?). I have bought 3 nice coins for my collection from them.
