I went and did it, I bought this coin. I paid way too much, I rarely buy an ancient coin (due mainly to ignorance) but I really liked it and now intend to start researching this coin and its history. Feel free to point me in the right direction, share your own staters, or share a coin that cost you more than you wanted to pay!
Neat one, that is one style of coin that I don't have. I went to 2 coin shops today. Trying to get an idea of what type of coin I would go all in with. One is an incuse punch stater, the other is a crazy error. I could get side tracked and look for varieties. Neat half Stater Seattlite!
I had the pleasure of shooting this one a few years back, but I'm pretty sure it's way out of my price range. I sure enjoyed having it in the studio, though. It has a cool countermark on the lion's shoulder, too.
