My first ancient coin, a Greek Drachm. Purchased purely cos it has a Bee on it... and Bee's are cool 🤦‍♂️

Will be sent off for grading and NCS to clean up some of the surface contaminants a bit, but not bad for a coin thats over 2k years old.

Received today from @kneehow2018. It's a shame my camera focus isn't the best.

Stunning. Simply beautiful. Can’t wait to see the grading results. This is one type of coin I have never owned.

Nice addition! I don’t think there’s a problem with your camera focus. That is your depth of field (F/diafragma) we’re seeing. You can adjust that manualy by changing (increasing) the F value in your settings and if that is not possible you can get the coin fully sharp by taking a little more distance while taking the picture or change the sharpness of the angle you are using.

Thanks for the advice. It's good to know that.

No problem with the photo. If it came from @kneehow2018 then it’s going to be a beaut 👍

That is unreal!!  Thanks for posting It's hard to believe it's been around 2 millennia ?!?!  What's the metal? is it a Sn-Cu Bronze or is there a bit or lead in there too?

I believe its Silver - I'm no expert, I picked it up for its design rather than the historical value (how shallow of me I know).

Not at all.... I can't believe it is so clear and beautiful after all that time.  Please forgive my ignorance,  I am very new to stacking and collecting, but is an item like this very difficult to find?  Are there market places for this sort of antiquity or is TSF a good place to hunt?

There are plenty of ancient coins around of various quality - usually found on specialist coin auctions.

Thank you again @terakris for donating the prize to the raffle, and thanks @ChrisSilver and all the mods for running the site that enables them to happen.

Shiny! 😁 *Also, cool capsule!

Mention capsule

[Dragonnumis]

@terakris great coin. I’ve always been interested but wary of ancients, after seeing yours I might have to take the plunge 👍

Thanks to @BleyerBullion for latest arrival.

 

 

[BleyerBullion]

Thanks for the mention. The Queens Beast coins have been very popular and I think they are the nicest bullion coin the Royal Mint has produced.

Kind regards
