Benevolent ‘Tyrant’ to Exhibit PCGS-Graded Ancient Coins
July 8, 2026
What does the legacy of a magnificently wealthy ancient empire look like?
For collector Dan O Dowd, once known in numismatic circles as "The Tyrant," the answer is a collection of more than 250 gold coins representing 1,700 years of Byzantine history.
O’Dowd brought that vision to life with his exquisite Tyrants of the Golden Horn Collection, which will be publicly exhibited at the American Numismatic Association World s Fair of Money in Pittsburgh, PA, August 25 – 29.
