I just purchased the tiny obol from the Ebay dealer at a slightly discounted price. Our Oz dollar is currently at an all-time low compared to the Yank greenback and any chance of reducing the exchange costs is always a definite benefit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you or anyone else here suggest a way to track down the provenance of an ex-BCD coin? The Ebay seller has no included hard data with the coin. I&#039;m always keen to make a historical connection with these amazing little objects.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin in question was minted in the ancient Peloponnese city of Megalopolis. I had the pleasure last May of wondering around the remains of that great city (see attached photos). It&#039;s exciting to think that I will soon be holding a product of ancient Megalopolis in my hand!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers, Rob&nbsp; FNQ,Au[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
