NYINC coin #2 - Stater of Corinth [surprise]

NYINC coin #2 - Stater of Corinth [surprise]

I had no intention to buy a Greek coin at the NYINC, but this coin talked to me. I looked at the coin Friday morning, went out for lunch and couldn’t get it out of my mind, rushed back and probably gave away my poker face in the negotiation so perhaps paid too much for this common issue. I don't regret it at all. My Greek coin collection is now all of 5 coins.

It would have talked to me too I think

Q

 

The only one of these I have is a reproduction I bought in a moment of weakness.

 

Nice example!

 

Fantastic coin, with great eye appeal.

 

Gorgeous Colt! Even if you had only one Greek coin instead of five, I’d consider this a worthy choice.

 

Beautiful coin! Love the color! I just got one too...ill post when i can.

 

You made a wise choice. An object of beauty is an object forever beautiful. Junk stays junk, whereas beauty grows and improves with age.

 

^^ This is actually a great way to go about buying coins IMO!

 

My sentiments exactly.
