    SNG von Aulock 2597  Cahn 66  ex. Nilus Coins
    Artistic dies! The lion head on this coin is by far the most expressive and animated in the series, which forms an interesting contrast to the calm beauty of the Aphrodite head.
    Hi and thanks for your interest in this item. I am a professional sculptor and painter of commissioned murals and portraits.
    I sculpted the 9 1/2 foot tall bronze Saint Paul statue that is in the Cathedral of Saint Paul, MN, and also painted
    what is likely the largest mural by an individual artist in the Twin Cities. I started collecting ancient coins about 16
    years ago as a way to study and improve my skills at bas-relief sculpting with these miniature masterpieces in hand.
    My concept is to offer interesting coins at a good value with a fixed buy it now price that I consider from collecting
    experience to be competitive and fair.
    I am happy to answer any questions regarding this... and
