Seller's Story
I am a private and passionate collector of numismatics, with a particular interest in ancient Greek coins, which form the heart of my personal collection.
I regularly acquire coins at auction houses only, either to complete my collection, or to conduct research and identify pieces that interest me.
Coins that do not fall within my collecting field are then put up for sale. This allows me to continue my research and dedicate the proceeds to enriching my collection of Greek coins.
I pay particular attention to coin identification, their historical context, and the references in major numismatic catalogs.
