Coin of the day time again, eh?

Coin of the day time again, eh?

Hmmm, which contestant will I choose today?

Ahhh yes, the good ol' Hoof-coin ...

THESSALY, Pherai. Alexander. Tyrant
Æ Chalkous
369-359 BC
Diameter: 13 mm
Weight: 2.07 grams
Obverse: Head of Jason right, wearing petasos
Reverse: ΑΛΕΞΑΝ [Δ]ΡΟ[Υ], lower leg of horse right
Reference: Rogers 521; BCD Thessaly I 1314 var. (arrangement of ethnic); BCD Thessaly II 706; HGC 4, 583
From the BCD Collection

Yah, I love this example => the patina makes it look like it actually has hair on the hoof (it's a total winna)

What's a member's gallery?

=> hey, I like my coins ... I'm not sure if I want them being available for the likes of you guys?

"Hey baby, Steve said it's okay if I took-a-look-atcha"

... ummm, maybe I'll keep 'em exactly where they are, my friend?

Thanks => yah, I love showing them off (my collection is all over the board => oh, but it's primarily animal-coins, if you're trying to figure out what I'm up to)
