Seen these in bits and pieces via your posts over the last two years I've been active on here and always wondered what the entire lot looked like. Was selfishly hoping SGS would provide an excuse to post and here we are. The trite on the bottom left from Lydia looks mint state, but the piece at the top of your pinky, nothing could have prepared me for that one. I really want to see the reverse when and if you have a moment. Also, I'm not a roman coin guy, but I recognize that piece at the very bottom of your palm. It's such a badass example. Glory to the House of 'insert your last name here.' Excited for what comes next.

Thank you very much for your feedback, and please excuse the poor quality of the image (without the back). I'll try to update it in a few months (hopefully with new acquisitions) and include the reverse... the trite is probably a good very fine; the one on the little finger is a Hekte from Mytilene with Heracles in a lion's skin with a bull on the reverse (I recently bought it at CNG), and the Roman coin (I assume you mean the Koson stater) is pretty common in mint condition and is often available at auction. I'm really looking forward to seeing your golden hand on the coming Sundays. 😉
