The first addition is this Alexander the Great Tetradrachm of Pella, the capital of Macedonia. Grading at EF this is the finest example of this type I have seen excluding one which is a definite posthumous strike. The lightning bolt is the most sought after mint mark from this mint and often commands a strong premium. The second addition is also an Alexander the Great Tet of Pella. It is graded by NGC as MS with 5/5 Strike and 4/5 Surfaces. This would be the finest that I have seen of this type. The bee on a flower mint mark is also highly sought after and attracts a moderate premium.   Exceptionally excited to add these lovely coins to my collection. Most certainly the trophy coins of my collection.

I must say the same, I hate those "plastic coffins for coins", but that is one thing easy to solve. I have the compulsive need to touch, feel and see my coins without plastic. ...but those coins are so beautiful... ...so beautiful that I´m going to forgot all about their "coffins" for a while! congrats!
