Hi all. It's been a while since I contributed to the boards here, though I have been lurking. My ancient and foreign accumulation has ended.
I am well and in good health. fortunately, but it's time to make a change. I'm nearing retirement and have no one in the family that is at all interested in coins. If something should happen to me I don't want to burden my wife with a bunch of 'stuff' she or no one else would want or now how to deal with. I am going to keep a small number that have historical importance or special to me in some way. The rest will be getting sold. My interest have ranged from Greek ancients to modern bullion with first century Rome and Colonial Mexico the most concentrated. Of course all of the ancients are historical in some way. This is going to be hard so here are some examples.

As I go through and get pictures made I will post them on the BSTpage. Keep watch, you may see something you like.

8 Reales Madness Collection
Thanks. The Antony is scarce and is a big dollar coin in vf and ef. This fine was overlooked because it isn't good enough for the big gun collectors.
Two K
I do remember. It was good to have another collector that appreciated Colonial Spain.
I let a club member talk me out of the coin a few years ago. But I still have the pics.
This early 4 R will be a keeper.
This is a test to see if I have enough light on the Greek bronzes.
This has to be redone. It's hard getting enough light on these dark bronzes.

That's the kind of stuff I like. Tough coins that are just within reach of my budget as a mere mortal.
The box of twenty would be the plan. The discipline is my downfall here. It might turn into 25.
maybe 40.
