Hi all,

Just started my gallery. Please feel free to have a look:

I would especially invite comments related to coin defects that I might have missed.

Best,
P.

Dear Paparoupa,

At your request of    "what you have missed"

It will be better if you post the weight , maximum diameter ( if possible )
what ever information you can enter , the better

here is a link to another Athena , as an example of an ideal description from FORVM coin shop  team

Following Minos' advice, I cleaned the deposit in Athena's ear/earring. In an ironic way it was some kind of wax in Athena's ear  ;D I am happy to present the new photo with the cleaned coin  8)

Finding a provenance for an Athenian tet is like finding a needle in a haystack :-) I was surprised while looking into flament to see my coin appearing there, so now here we go again I proudly present my owl: Flament plate IV, no 2 (this coin). ex Glendinning, 18-20 April 1955 no 383
