DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 5:06 pm As part of my collecting goals I decided I wanted to make a page of Greeks, a page of Roman and a Page of Medieval + Golds relating to UK. Well the page of Greeks is completed with this final coin. So my page of Greeks contains the following coins... Alexander III AR drachm Alexander III AR tetradrachm Attica Athens Owl tetradracm Corinth AR stater (Pegasis flying left) Darius I Ar siglos, Lydia under Persian rule Moesia Istros Ar Drachm Thrace twins/left head inverted Thrace Thasos AR Drachm, Satyr with protesting nymph Thrace Cheronesos Ar Hemidrachm, forepart of lion Menander Indo-Greek At drachm, Islands off Attica Aegina Ar Stater, sea turtle Thrace Messembria AE22 Athena Alkis with shield and spear Sicily Syracuse Agathokoles AE23 Lightning bolt Now I just hope I don't see any nice Messembria Meta wheel/helmet diobols or Thebes staters or I will have to start a new page. Did I make good choices for a type collection? How would you have chosen differently? My Roman page is requiring 3 coins, so I am looking for a nice Dupondius, a nice city commemorative and a facing bust. After that who knows where my collecting will take me.

I have six coins that may be similar to yours in that list, but if the rest of your Greeks are as nice as the one pictured, you beat me 6 to nil. Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 5:45 pm Excellent group of Greek coins! I'm still acquiring Greeks but mine are mostly more obscure, less popular types therefore not too expensive. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 7:56 pm A Rhodian drachm and something from Magna Grecia (Tarentum or Neapolis maybe) or even Punic Sicily would round things out nicely. But then you would need to start page 2. The search never really ends does it ? Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 8:24 pm Thank you for the kind words... I started collecting these about 9 months ago as a result of seeing how interesting ancients are on this forum. I had originally joined because of my banknotes. Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 03/08/2013 12:37 am Awesome coins. I seem to come across them all the time, but don't know how to tell the fake from the real. Much less know their value. Report this Post to the Staff
