Very nice coins maridvnvm. I was hoping we'd get to see some of your griffin coins. I particularly like the AR triobol. Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia. (Wikipedia)  Are there any Sycthian coins with a griffin? What about a Simurgh. Are there any coins with one of these?

I see a few duplicates there Martin that you need to get rid of for a decent price as to make it easier to find that Celtic stater you were looking for!
