My Taras collection
Enodia:
no new coin to announce (more's the pity :( ), but i did just make a major addition to my collection.
after an almost endless search i finally was able to get an original printing of the 'Descriptive Catalog of The Collection of Tarentine Coins formed by M.P. Vlasto', by Oscar Ravel (1947). this is something i have wanted for some time, but i couldn't find one anywhere at any price!
this one came to me from Australia and very reasonably priced (although i still had to borrow the money from a friend), so i am very happy to finally add it to my library.
so now if any new Tarentine coins ever show up in the catalog here then i can finally add a coin too. :)

Enodia:
still no new coins to add, but the remodel continues as i re-list my old coins with new photos.

today i uploaded 4 didrachms and my only plate coin, a little obol with a kantharos on each side. it was really cool to look in my new Vlasto catalog and see my own coin right there on a plate from 1947! :)

Augustin Caron:
This is a wonderful and inspiring collection.
Thank you for sharing it,
AC
Enodia:
thank you very much Augustin! it is a labor of love.
i have finally, after encountering quite a few obstacles, been able to add a new Tarentine coin to my favorite collection. i don't have it in hand yet (hopefully soon!), but this will be the rarest coin in my collection so far.
stay tuned! 8)

and oh yeah... GO GIANTS!!! :)
(sorry Chris!)
Enodia:
well it took almost a month, but my new drachm is finally here! it looks nicer in hand of course, but you can check it out here...

this is a rarity with the owl facing left. of the 60 some-odd varieties of Tarentine drachms, only two depict the owl standing left, with the other showing Athena left. i have only found one other specimen sold within the past 10+ years, so i was glad to snatch this one up!
anyway, i found it an interesting piece, and i hope you do too.
