They are all marvelous.  I'm envious of your Lysimachos tets-- I've put off finding one and am now deterred by price.  I particularly like the second one 😍.

thanks! 

I would say its my favourite type, i really love Lysimachos tets, i have 9 of them at this moment but getting rid of two soon 😛

Wow. Wonderful coins!!! I like natural light but my photos tend to be a mix. Sometimes artificial works better and sometimes natural works better.

Are you a fan of natural sunlight for your photos or artificial?

CassiusMarcus, That's a fantastic group of tets 🤩. How about a group photo of the reverses 🤔? I always prefer natural sunlight ☺️.

Holy Moly! I've missed this thread, that tray is fantastic! So many gorgeous portraits, the Poliorketes, Perseus and Mithridates are my favorites among them. What wooden cabinet is this that you use and what are the diameter of the holes? I also would like to se the reverses of the same tray!

heyo!

Thank you so much for the compliments, I would say my favourite is the Perseus as well.

Its one of the Davis cabinets, and I do not know the diameter but the Perseus tet is quite difficult to remove LOL and that's a 34mm coin, so around there I would imagine.. sorry not entirely sure

Yeah the Perseus is gorgeous. I hope to be able to get one myself in the future. Was bidding on one in one of the heritage auctions in August but it ran away in price. 

Ohh Davis trays and cabinets are gorgeous, I ordered one myself from him during the pandemic. It was made for denarius so a bit too tiny for my tets.

A lovely display! If you don't mind me asking, where did your source the drawer itself from? I'm looking for something similar to better house my own RIC collection... I'd love to know where yours is from!

Thanks in advance!

Wonderful, wonderful tray! Those portraits are beyond stunning, I wouldn’t know what to choose!

Do you have any nice tets with a shield? Those are some of my favourite designs!

These are my only two tetradrachms:

Awesome coins! 

Nothing like that, unless you count Athena using a shield on the reverse 🤣

I've always wanted one of those Macedonian Protectorate tets, super cool!

@Gumrum I can also highly recomend Rob Davis, he's super nice and made sure the cabinet was done exactly as I wanted. He's based in UK.
