<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7774779, member: 86498&quot;]For me it would have to be this one. I started collecting Greek coins in 1987. From the very beginning I had decided that I wanted one of these. </p><p>Ephesos Ar Tetradrachm 350-340 BC Obv Bee.

Hansen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333523[/ATTACH] </p><p>Long story short I never found one that I liked. Despite being minted from circa 405 BC to 325 BC, I could never find one that I thought that would be suitable. There was always some problem. This coinage is known for weak strikes, awful centering, and tight flans. So in 2021 I decided that this year I was going to get one. Earlier this year two showed up. Both had issues that would have had me dismiss them as unsuitable before. This one had a tight flan and the bee has a weakly struck abdomen.&nbsp; However I am glad that my search, one that lasted 34 years is finally over. I still have many wants still and have acquired many coins recently that I have wanted for a long time but this has to be the longest itch that has finally been scratched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
