Wow Ive seen the drachms before, but this is a first. The way people are crazed over owls these would probably go for 3/4 of the values of a tetradrachm.

Not a book recommendation but a coin show for those who want to try ancient coins as well as those more experienced collectors - the New York International COin Show in Manhattan, NYC. It occurs every mid-January and you can find some cool catalogs lying around for free too. That show is where I got some very inexpensive ancient coins.

@@ClassicalNumismatics You should. TO save money, stay at a hotel in New Jersey not far from the sports stadium adn American Dream Mall. Good amount of comfortable buses run to NYC and the lodging costs are much lower. A nice large town to stay is Montclair , NJ. There are also lodging options outside of the expensive areas of NYC - Harlem, Manhattan, parts of Western Queens and Downtown Brooklyn to Crown Heights.

They had far better alloys in the east at that time compared to mints in Italy, probably had more access to silver…

For Greek Coins: Collecting Ancient Greek Coins: A Guided Tour Featuring 25 Significant Types by Paul Rynearson is a excellent book to show you examples of how to develop your eye. He shows what to look for in types,. e.g. Lysimachus or Alexander - which styles and mints are desirable.

You can also look up some learning material on Researchgate, Accademia and other Peer Reviewed Websites. I have a few Books on Chinese Early Knife, Spade, Cowrie, and the various round coins, my favourite is a British Museum catalogue on Punch Marked Coins. Another is Cilicia Armenia coin book. Thanks for the Video.

Thank you Leo for your great videos - I enjoy all of them… I only collect antique gold and electrum coins; I am especially impressed by the Hektes and their diversity and details on a small flan. My book recommendation in this regard is: Die Elektronmünzen von Phokaia und Mytilene (Friedrich Bodenstedt) The book is in German, but has a large number of plate coins and is still a great reference in this area

Great video! Have all the books you mentioned which are great references. David Sear has a new three volume set on Ancient Greek & Roman Coins. Volumes l and ll are available. Volume lll hasn't been released yet. My favorite book is ERIC - The Encyclopedia of Roman Imperial Coins by Rasiel Suarez. David Vagi has a two volume set, Coinage and History of the Roman Empire ,that is worth while having as a reference.
