Those are lovely additions, thanks for posting them here like this. I look at the galleries, but can be pretty inconsistent in doing so.

[Pharsalos]

Hello Anaximander

I came across this very recent article by Catharine Lorber, discussing a hoard of hemidrachms of Pharsalos:

Coin 1 in the plate is your Pharsalos hemidrachm:

Well spotted, Pharsalos! 
If anyone would spot Lorber's revision to her 2003 book report of Lavva's 2001 work on the coinage of Pharsalos, it would be someone named Pharsalos.
Whilst this coin may not quite rise to the level of a "plate coin", the article certainly adds to its pedigree. It's a known hoard disbursed in 1999.  I'm chuffed!

Nice!

Anaximander I've taken the liberty of checking some of your Tarentine coins against D'Andrea, as we spoke of in my thread here...    https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=78345.275 
and the results are interesting.

Your didrachm, Vlasto 589, corresponds to D'Andrea Series XL, Type 918, and is listed as R3. The dating moves up to 290-281 BC.
F-B 79, 1086-87, 1090, 1093-96; ANS 988-89; Cop 842; France 1833; Cote 236-37; Oxford 287

Your didrachm Vlasto 594-96 should probably be cf 594-96, as the magistrate is different (DAI vs the more common EA). It corresponds to D'Andrea XXXIX, 848, and the date moves back to 302-290 BC. The only attribution is to F-B 77, 988-89. Again R3.

Also, the Vlasto 96 we discussed in the other thread seems to be a die match to the D'Andrea specimen.

I'll work up the others if you like.

I updated Numiswiki to give a URL for the Côte Collection sale, Monnaies de Tarente (Rodolfo Ratto, Lugano, 1929). Not the reprint, but the original catalog.  The BnF Gallica site has things found nowhere else online. This little gem will give me some references for my small collection of coins of Tarentum. Points to Enodia for pointing out this source.

Regarding 594-96, my mistake. I looked up the right coin but copied down the wrong one. Vlasto 594-96 is correct (still D'Andrea XXXIX, 848), 302-290 BC. It is properly listed as 'common'.

Carrying on...
Vlasto 732 corresponds to D'Andrea XLII, 1181, dated 276-272 BC.
Cote 391; ANS 1098-1102; France 1900-03; Oxford 322-23.

 Vlasto 928 = D'Andrea XLIV, 1412, dated 272-235 BC.
ANS 1238; France 2050.

Stay tuned...

[Enodia]

Continuing, I think this finishes them off...

Vlasto 803-07 = D'Andrea XLII, 1213. 276-272 BC, R1. The only other reference given is Copenhagen 899.

Your drachm, Vlasto 1054-57 = D'Andrea XLI, 1011. 281-272 BC, common.
Cote 323; ANS 1307-11; Cop 954-55; France 1936-37; Oxford 445.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, Peter, for your kind efforts. All seven attributions are taken in and much appreciated. 
I'll propagate the updates (database to coin flips and to FAC gallery) in short order. D'Andrea must be a marvel of scholarship. There were several cross-references that surprised me, such as the BnF (SNG 6.1) and SNG Oxford where I hadn't picked up on their presence in the collections.

May you find rarities at budget prices!

Cheers~
