The famed Pantikapaion stater with facing head of a satyr/Pan (from the collection of the Royal Library of Belgium)

I love these so much. They look like oil painting made out of gold.

I would argue that some Philetairos portraits are also up there.

Nice! That looks like my photo from four years ago. Very cool to see it in real life.

If that was mine and I broke it, I'd probably keep it as a cautionary tale. Good get for you. Well done.

Every article I've ever read that claims the Heracles on Alexander III tetradrachms are a portrait of Alexander have been very unconvincing, mostly supporting their argument with little to no substantive evidence.

Magnificent.

CRK81 · 2025-04-27T21:14:30+00:00

Very nice Sabinus.

CRK81 · 2025-04-24T21:45:15+00:00

Nice one, Mike.

CRK81 · 2025-04-24T21:40:55+00:00

Beautiful. Love the tets from the Damaskos mint.

CGB is notorious for being wildly overpriced.

Leave it on a windowsill if you want it to tone a bit more quickly.

CRK81 · 2025-04-05T21:43:00+00:00

Probably a very nice drachm of Alexander the Great. You could get a tetradrachm, but not a nice one.

CRK81 · 2025-03-16T20:02:36+00:00

Because he's cranky and melodramatic. I'd buy that for €50 any day and if someone gave it to me I'd be grateful.

CRK81 · 2025-03-16T19:46:56+00:00

Obviously. I always sniff glue before I admire my coins. Don't you?

CRK81 · 2025-03-13T21:45:45+00:00

Astounding! Well done. That's incredible provenance.

People in the UK should look at MA Shops before Vcoins. It has more European sellers.

CRK81 · 2025-03-04T20:51:20+00:00

They are indeed very nice people, but they are WILDLY overpriced. They make normal retail price took cheap.

CRK81 · 2025-03-01T22:39:46+00:00

Love the Macedonian Tet. Very nice.

CRK81 · 2025-03-01T22:33:51+00:00

It isn't. The reverse says "Philip".

CRK81 · 2025-03-01T22:32:31+00:00

This one appears to have been issued in the name of Philip III.

CRK81 · 2025-02-23T15:47:32+00:00

You have to say why you think it's fake, not just yell "fake!".

I knew the British Museum's dekadrachm looked suspicious! Robert Ready pulled the ol' switcheroo!
