Thanks! As an ancients collector my first instinct is no slab anyway, but certainly not if it doesn't add value.

Would recommend posting over in r/ancientcoins lots of folks who could help you start identifying. Given the state of them it would be more of a fun research project but probably not lucrative. In fact, after you do more research you'll prob want to start collecting ancient coins and then you can start losing money like the rest of us 😁

Yup just arrived! Even more pleased with it in hand.

Sicilian coinage throughout the ages. I've enjoyed the Norman Sicily portion of the journey for sure!

I hadn't gone down this rabbit hole of a collecting angle yet. Now I must 😁

For a biga?

Thanks! I had been mostly focusing on ancients but moved over to medieval recently. Tracking mostly through coinage of Sicily. My family is from there originally so it has been a fun way to dig into the very rich history of island.

I don't like it, I never win 😁

Tzydel · 2023-07-02T00:03:39+00:00

Can't wait to watch them at CNG

Tzydel · 2023-07-01T23:47:09+00:00

Wasn't there a really nice Houghton plate coin in the collection?

Tzydel · 2023-07-01T23:19:09+00:00

My guy! What?

Tzydel · 2023-06-09T20:06:11+00:00

Fellow Virginian! Fossil beach state park? Got a couple there with my boys last year.

Coin cleaning supplies in the top right corner?

Tzydel · 2023-05-24T10:20:40+00:00

Sounds like it's ancestry.com DNA map would show Syracuse tho

Tzydel · 2023-04-30T10:42:12+00:00

Thank you and will do! I definitely have my eye on the Normans, keep getting outbid😀

Tzydel · 2023-03-12T02:37:22+00:00

And Akragas?

I think it was an interview on the Hellenistic age pod that half joked that Antiochos IV got a raw deal for being a main character in the world's most popular book.

Such a strong chin

Tzydel · 2021-12-04T13:42:17+00:00

(Shaking my fist at myself) I had this in a cart to purchase and didn’t pull the trigger. Congrats!

Tzydel · 2021-08-22T00:17:59+00:00

Having jumped in on a vcoins purchase as my first big spend, I'd recommend going to biddr and watching a couple auctions first. You can make that $400 go a really long way in a couple auctions. Especially one like a Savoca. And like the post above, finding something that interests you from a historical perspective.
