With some leftover x-mas money, I finally acquired my first Greek stater. I guess a hoard is being dispersed or something since I am seeing so many of these as of late & a VC dealer posted one that I was attracted to condition/price-wise. It's always nice to add greek silver to my collection. Pamphylia, Aspendos (465 - 430 B.C.) AR Stater O: Warrior advancing right with a spear and shield. R:Triskeles 10.86g SNG Cop 174

There are some that gain points in my book by having little bonus designs in the field (I want a turtle) and there is a huge variation in strike quality. https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=389620 I suspect the worst ones will have trouble finding homes while the finest will go very high. The question is when our individual time is right.
