    Note: it sadly was not the 2.3M CHF (~$3.14M) Kimon tetradrachm. A nice coin indeed but for that money, I'd prefer an Akragas dekadrachm!

    It was a pretty safe prediction. image

    But I predict this will be awesome even by your standard of awesomeness.

    PS- now you'll be having to rework that collage photo.

    I don't know if what I consider "nuclear" will be "nuclear" to some of you, but by any standards, it's a very important type, and I'm sure it's listed in the "100 Greatest Ancient Coins" book, which I don't own yet.

    How much longer do we have to wait?

    You said "before long", in my dysfunctional world that means last night.

    I'm afraid you'll be waiting a bit longer still image I have a policy of not posting coins until I have them in-hand - I had a shipment of two coins stolen last year and have since been very hesitant. I should hopefully have them in hand either at the end of this week or next, depending on if I can make it down to pick them up between the dealer I had represent me (couldn't make it personally) traveling to the various other auctions which will be going on.

    Give 'im a little while. Takes time to do those awesome photomontages, if nothing else, right? image

    In the meantime, I shall be posting two of my more modest, decidedly non-nuclear newps later ton- uhm- this morning.
