[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2617552, member: 76194"]Roughly 14 months ago I came across this coin on a dealer's website on vcoins. I marked it in my wish list where it remained all along as the oldest coin in my wish list. Every month as I was ready to buy it, other coins crossed my path and I kept putting it off About 8 months ago there was a thread here about your dream coin and I posted this very picture, and noted that even though it wasn't an expensive coin, it was my dream coin because I could never seem to buy it even though I wanted it. And on and on it went, every month I'd check it out to make sure it was still available and before I pulled the trigger on it another coin crossed my path and ended up taking it's place in my collection, while this coin kept getting pushed back into the wish list. Well, today the journey ends. It's mine! Was it worth the 14 month saga? I don't know, you decide. [ATTACH=full]573766[/ATTACH] Argos AR Triobol 80-50 BCE Forepart of wolf, right A-ΓA / Θ-O / KΛEOΣ divided by large A, harpa below, all within incuse square 16.32 mm, 2.01 grams [B]Post whatever coin floats your boat.
