It is with inordinate pride and pleasure that I announce my landmark 101st auction of ancient and early coins, closing August 15. The sale boasts 558 lots, of superlative quality for the most discriminating connoisseurs. Enter the catalog and you will be transported on wings of angels into a veritable dreamworld of numismatic treasures.

Unlike most auctions which, let’s face it, are full of overpriced junk, mine reflect unstinting efforts scouring the globe for the finest specimens; and yet the starting prices are so astonishingly low as to presage an orgy of bidding. Hence the wise participant will bid early to avoid being trampled.
The sale also includes group lots, literature, and an attractive selection of fixed price offerings. And while the emphasis is upon magnificent quality, there are some less exalted items (like an $8 Julia Titi) — crumbs tossed, so to speak, for proletarians.
I have two unknown coins I’m seeking information about (photos at http://www.fsrcoin.com/m.html). One is a silver hemidrachm (? 2.44 grams) with female head left/Pegasos left, E below. The other is a post-reform radiate, Obv DIOCLETIANVS AVGVSTVS, rev DEAE SANCT . . . SIDI , Isis standing left hldg sistrum & cornucopiae; ALE mintmark. I find no other record of a coin with this legend. Can anyone suggest what the few missing letters are?
Cheers!
