No problem, feel free to lurk ๐ maybe get inspired to start a small collection. With ancient coins you choose your own adventure, so to speak.
Umm..... How about no? ๐
Breakaway day. Could be anyone, but hoping for Cort, Skjelmose, or Asgreen to give it a go.
I don't, I am too busy sanitizing and calculating things... ๐
Yes, I was trying to reply to a post which said he was feeling ill :D
I typically use acsearch.info and a lot of googling. I also own Sear's 'Greek Coins and their Values' volume I and II, and apart from the values part they are also quite useful.
I see some of these are sold already, so I hope you'll post them when they arrive :)
Without MvdP, the Trek train is looking strong, but the sprint is a little too flat for Pedersen.
On the other hand we are also approaching the stages where most of the fast guys have lost a bit of speed and Mads starts catching up to them.
I'm still going to go with Philipsen, though...
I think Skjelmose would have won if he didn't spend so much energy getting into the break in the first place.
Lovely!

It's an old joke, I guess :)
It is indeed struck using a punch with a design, many Greek coins were :) Coins from Rhodes always feature a rose.
Incidentally, I think the portrait of Helios looks a lot like Alexander the Great.
