<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3640782, member: 19463&quot;]We might discuss whether we would rather have this coin or a thousand $300 coins but there is no doubt that this is the right coin for someone out there.&nbsp; Note there is no estimate on this one, just a minimum bid.&nbsp; I have an opinion on what it will bring but we have said many times that we should not discuss upcoming sales so I won&#039;t give that opinion here.&nbsp; I assume many of us would have trouble covering the buyers fee and delivery (don&#039;t mail it for heaven&#039;s sake).</p><p><br /></p><p>For those resigned to not winning this one, Antiquanova makes a replica of the half denomination for $6.71 in tin.&nbsp; You could buy one of those for everyone you know and not come close to the price of this coin.&nbsp; The replica is not quite right in style but I doubt that there are all that many people in the world who would know the difference.&nbsp; Where has this coin been since 1934?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are lesser coin types from this city but I do not have one to show.&nbsp; The closest I have is this litra of Katane (south of mt.Aitna; Naxos is north).&nbsp; It cost $85 (aka more my speed).&nbsp; It shows a less wonderful Silenos head and a thunderbolt.&nbsp; Who here has the equivalent coin of Naxos?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]977293[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>CNG has sold several.&nbsp; Want list anyone?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cngcoins.com/photos/big/2940064.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
