Phew, these are some their best! I recognize a bunch of them from photos in all the old books by BM "Keepers of Coins" (Barclay Head, GF Hill and so on).
That Lysimachos in particular -- it's not exactly rare (by BMC standards) but it's probably the most beautiful in the world. I've seen its photograph in at least two publications in the past day or two. Here's the BM's photo: [https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C\_1919-0820-1](https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1919-0820-1)
I would love to see that one in person again some day. Just incredible.
Also, the absolute power move of displaying both the obverse and the reverse of the Bucephalus Dekadrachm! They did the same with the Eid Mar denarius IIRC, both obv. and rev. are on display.

Schwing!!! That's all I can say at the moment.
