That Menander drachm is above awesome.  The attribution (HGC 12, 188. Bopearachchi 6c) is spot on. Here's more:  MIG 2 Type 221d; BMC 42; SNG ANS 9 #715-721.  Bopearachchi's examples of series 6c are coins #23 and 24 on plate 27.

Wow, congrats on adding those last two beauties (I had examples of both and I loved them "in-hand")

You are definitely amassing a sweet, sweet collection (keep-up the awesome work)
