Some nice coins there, too bad you weren't able to get them.

Still an hour to go, but I really don't know what I am doing with Greeks. It seems a lot of money.

Bottom left ye-olde - its a ptolemy style one.
Thats a nice macedonian helmet. I prefer the thunderbolt design, personally. I do have a trick which could nab you one on the cheap (its how I got mine) but I wont post it here. PM me.
As for the eagle, that style is pretty readily available for cheap if you shop about the smaller Ptolemy coins.

Coin at top right has alot of dirt on it still and will clean up much much better than this........., but I'd bid just for the top middle.... the coin top middle will clean further to an exceptional grade!! The others arent too good though, but the eagle reverse is acceptable. IMO of course

well uncontrollable clicking got the better of me. I am going to have to sell off the rest of the family gelt to pay for these. Hope it is worth it  |

Hang your head in shame!, nice one........sometimes these things happen. Beautiful coins in there. I'd love to get two of them under my binocular microscope and get the wooden picks out for a few hours. How uncontrollable was your clicking?

Oh, yay! Nice lot. Love love love the Macedonian shield. Don't think I've seen a nicer one! I had an itchy bidding finger today too and got another large mixed lot  Laaaaaaarge mixed lot. Greek and Roman, mostly bronze. No photo, minimal description, another shot in the dark but those have worked out well so far. Should keep me busy for a while. There will likely be a ton of them I don't want to keep too. |
