Hi all, I don't post here much but wanted to share a recent pickup for my ancient type set. Thrace/Thasos tetradrachm with nice colors, purchased recently from a dealer off of vcoins.

Nice example! Congrats.

I've always admired these big Thasos tets, as well as the imitative types that they inspired (some of which got pretty bizarre).

Here's the only one I ever owned. Sold it off years ago. I do miss that coin.

@kevro22, that is a nice pick-up. I especially like the crown of leaves and flowers. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favourite coins.

I used to have one in my collection but sold it at some point.

Yours is a nice example.

A collector friend in North Carolina ended up purchasing almost 20 of these over a 3 year period. It was a huge amount of fun to see them all side by side to view the variations, the bizarritude and stlyistic variations.
