the collection ever grows

Dear all,

It has been a while since I posted anything new even though coins seem to be pouring through the letterbox at an alarming rate 

A scarce city - this is only the third example from Diadumenian that I know off.

Malcolm,

Diadumenian is not an emperor that I collect, but Artemis is a Goddess I collect - very nice - and from an interesting Asia Minor city - Anemurium - If you could see me I might be green!!

How's the new little one doing??

[Bacchus]

Thanks Michael and Charles,

I am - I think - pretty well down to the harder to get coins now, type wise (a.k.a. expensive!) - not counting Moesian die variations which are also of interest.  I really have to desist from buying minor coins and save for the big ones when they come along.

Little Sydni is doing well - only waking once at night - much easier to look after than the last one - so far

thanks for asking

I have attached another recent purchase for which I have only Sydenham 509 cf - as a reference - I'd be grateful to anyone who could share any other references for this, quite a nice example
