With the scorching, humid weather up here lately, and giving no allowance to detect (well, I'm sure everyone's experiencing it too. We've all but destroyed our O-zone layer), I started up a new "from around the world" coin collection (yeah... I'm crazy with a slight Ebay infection )...!
I'm gonna see how many "owl" coins I can collect. So far, I have 5 with 4 more in the mail headin' this way as we speak.
The hardest ones to get, that I can see, so far, are these ancient Greek coins (I don't want to settle for reproductions, tho'. I'd rather have all original stamps).
Here's 4 that I'd love to get, but it's probably never gonna happen, 'cause of their rarity (and, of course, price): (left-to-right)
ATTICA, Athens. 449 BC. AR Tetradrachm...
Athens Silver Didrachm Coin. Athena 460 B.C...
Athena of Athens Tetradrachm 449 B.C....
2100 year old ancient Greek silver. 360 BC...
(Is there anyone else out there that has a collection of specific coins?)
I'm gonna post this on Snowy & I's Maine MD site too. It's a good subject to share, don't cha think?
