Hi folks,

I just added another page to my website:

Greek, Syria, Seleucid, Part 3

This page contains a very rare Phoenicia, Byblos coin that MR (Arados) had expressed interest in in the recent past.

Dear Meepzorp and Board,

Your bronze of Aegospotami is most likely an issue of Aegeae in Cilicia.  I am attaching several pages from Hansjörg Bloesch's ANS paper, "Hellenistic Coins of Aegeae," published in the 1982 volume of Museum Notes.

Depending if there is a monogram on your coin, and in consideration of its diameter and weight, Bloesch 8, or something similar to Bloesch 67 (which is very close in style) could be a possible fit.

Hope this helps.


Best regards,

Mark Fox

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate your attatchments.

Could it be that Mr. Lindgren mis-attributed another coin?

I see your point. Yes, it does look like some AE Cilicia, Aegeae coins. However, on most of those coins, Athena's hair hangs down in 3 braids. In fact, I have one of those coins. It is already posted in my website.

And yes, it is true that, on some Aegeae coins (Bloesch 67 and 71), Athena's hair does not hang down like that. And the style of the Athena on those issues matches my coin. Actually, it matches my example more so than any Aegospotami coin. However, there is one nagging problem. The reverse inscription on Aegeae coins should read: A I :Greek_Gamma: E A...

On my example, the 5th digit is clearly not an "A". It looks much more like an "O" or a "C". I assume that is what made Mr. Lindgren think it is an Aegospotami coin.

Could it be an Aegeae coin with a typo in the reverse legend?

What does everyone else think?

Hi folks,

I corrected the dealer error (Aegospotami/Aegeae).

Edit #1: This is strange. My changes (corrected website pages and photo numbers) work in Mozilla, but not in Google Chrome. I re-loaded the page several times, but it is still showing the old photo numbers. I guess I have to give it time. Mozilla is showing the correct photo numbers.

Edit #2: Now it is working in Google Chrome. That was strange.

Hi folks,

Yesterday, when I added my mis-attributed Aegeae coin to my Greek, Cilicia website page, I copied a block of code and edited it, which is what I usually do when I add a coin to a page that already exists. However, I forgot to change the post date from September to November. I just corrected that error.

Hi folks,

Today, I added another page to my website:

Greek, Thrace, Part 2, Mesembria - Odessos

I also added another coin (Maroneia) to my Greek, Thrace, Part 1 page. Since I deleted the mis-attributed coin (Aegospotami) yesterday, I figured that I'd add another coin to that page. That way, I'd even out the number of entries in the pages.

Hi folks,

I finally finished posting my Greek (non-Italy and non-Sicily) coins, all 4 boxes of them. Today is 2 days shy of my 49th birthday. Just like the year I was born (1967), my birthday is the day after Thanksgiving.

I started working on my website in November of last year (2015).  So, I am now one year into this phase (Phase 3) of my project. My website is about 70% completed. I was hoping to have it all done within a span of a year, but that looks like a "pipe dream" at this point.

I have 2 major categories left to post: Roman Republic and Medieval. Of course, I have minor categories too (Byzantine, medals, etc.). But I want to do my major categories first.

I think I am going to do my Medieval coins next, mainly because they are going to take longer than my Roman Republic coins (because I have more of them).

I have 2 things to state about my Medieval coins. First, like I did for my Greek coins and Roman Imperial Octavian/Augustus coins, I think I am going to split my Medieval coins into 2 sections: Italy and non-Italy. I have so many Italian Medieval coins that I think they need their own separate section. Second, I have 3 boxes of Medieval coins. However, Medieval coins tend to be much thinner than Greek and Roman Provincial coins. I fit many more Medieval coins into each box, possibly 2-3 times as many. So, those 3 boxes of Medieval coins are probably the equivalent of 6-9 boxes of Greek or Roman Provincial coins. I have 9 boxes of Roman Provincial coins, and look how long it took me to post all of those coins (about 6 months or more). It is probably going to take me about 3-6 months (or more) to post all of my Medieval coins. That should take me into late Spring or early Summer 2017.
