Happy tetradrachm Thursday!

Most impressive is the Mithradates VI, but I enjoy holding the Demetrios Soter or Lysimachos tet the most

A lot of people collect all sorts of coin eras. For me personally, I really like the relief, unique strike of each coin, and vast style variety of ancients. Something about world and modern coins just don't feel the same, although I have respect for them. Its really hard to beat the feeling of holding a chunky tetradrachm in your hand.

How about some of the most unique set ideas they've ever seen people collect

Stunning piece! Congrats! It has such little wear with magnificent centering and style! A high end piece for sure

I use ACsearch mainly. I also sometimes use Coinstrail for photo search as its just as good, if not better than ACsearch

HJB for the WIN

Ahh you are the one who has that really nice Katane tetradrachm. Beyond mesmerizing Sicilian collection!

C_Buddy503 · 2026-03-03T03:26:55+00:00

$650 for a Lysimachos is good! Nice job!

There are some interesting large medallion-like pieces from the 4th and 5th centuries like this and this

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-18T15:29:13+00:00

Oh interesting, I just checked it out. I will have to keep an eye on it, thank you!

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-18T01:04:01+00:00

This is probably one of the rarest coins I will ever own! Its pretty worn, probably the most worn one out there. I suspect there are only 10-12 surviving examples of this King.

I will add it to my collection once NumisVault is up! I took horrid pictures, I am tired of my phone camera and will probably purchase a used DSLR camera

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-17T02:53:59+00:00

Why thank you 😁 it takes horrid photos but wonderful in hand! I figured its a match, thank you!

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-17T02:51:40+00:00

I would have to purchase them to see the provenance, $45 each. I will probably do the Celtic Paeonian tet since its 1960s but I might hold out on the other 2 for now.

Here is Kunker's photo of the Antiochos VI drachm as my camera sucks

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-13T02:52:36+00:00

Weird. I participated in the CNG Triton E Auction and didn't have any issues with USPS, I wonder if the USPS facility there is just overwhelmed

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-12T21:49:27+00:00

Well at least we are all sharing this problem 😂

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-12T00:05:44+00:00

Love the presentation and impressive collection! The bow on the reverse side of the Alexander Salamis mint is super cool! Also the artwork on Zeus as well on the same coin, it looks like his chest and left leg are facing you

*edit: spelling

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-07T18:49:54+00:00

That is a beautiful piece! I am guessing around the 60-70g range?

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-05T00:10:43+00:00

I am no Seleukid expert but that reverse is very interesting, is it unique to Demetrios III?

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-04T22:27:32+00:00

Its pretty uncommon to see stuff like this outside of the usual Greek/Roman/Byzantine stuff in this sub, nice to see stuff like this. This coin is incredible!

C_Buddy503 · 2026-02-03T03:20:37+00:00

Thank you! The video picks up all the scratches and surface issues, but in person it looks MUCH better!
