A coin from Lucania, Thurium previously part of the Clarence Bement collection and subsequently sold in a 1924 Naville auction in Lucerne, Switzerland. This coin has both an attractive appearance as well as long historical auction record.
Sharply struck drachm from Thasos with ultra-high relief and wonderful imagery. This coin was a 1988 purchase by the Hanbery collection, in which the well-respected dealer Frank Kovacs was instrumental in forming.
Scarce EF Athenian drachm. The drachm denomination is far more difficult to obtain than the ever present tetradrachm. This piece comes from a Peus auction and has a remarkable strike.
Beautiful coin from Sicily during the time of Agathokles. This coin was struck just following a period of amazing artistry by die engravers in Sicily. The elements of this impressive style were maintained despite a dramatic change in government.
A stunning tetradrachm from Messana. This coin comes from the Moretti collection and has impeccable style.
Complete coin of Ahenobarbus. Finding a coin of Ahenobarbus with all the elements visible can be a difficult task.
