putzing ? I thought and still think this is a great coin, regarless of the metal. It's absolutely stunning in-hand. Silver? Did someone say silver? Hmmm, perhaps Santa might have brought something. Let me see......... |

I know John. I think Anoob is trying to take up the slack left by Jerry. I'd like to see the coin you are referring to. It seems I am amassing a few Tyche coins.

Yea Eng thats the way to go. I have been eye balling the Ardos from a couple of dealers but they are always out of my price range. I saw one for a decent price from HJB but I was already committed on another piece and couldn't bid on it. If you can get it - get it I would.

Nice coin, I have been so distracted by the beauty of the Greek silvers I haven't procured a single Greek bronze yet... I have a couple on my wish list though so maybe I will join the club soon.
So many coins to buy and impossible to own them all :S

Oh no, another coin on the gotta have it list.
I really don't have language to describe how stunning and fascinating this coin truly is.
I'm fond of all ancient coins, actually I'm fond of all coins, even run of the mill pocket change. I'm a history buff and the older the better, which is why I'm drawn to Greek coins. Though, I have yet to buy one. I'm still feeling my way by buying rather common, yet wonderful Roman coins.

Like I said, it's even more amazing in hand. Thanks for the comments.

I don't know what it is, those Greeks silvers are awesome but there is something oddly magnetizing about this piece.
