<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1535805, member: 19463&quot;]There are very few bronze coins of Athens that used the owl type and they tend to be small.&nbsp; I have one that is 12mm diameter.&nbsp; There are many, many bronze fakes that copy the famous silver tetradrachms.&nbsp; A few of them are ancient but most are tourist copies sold in gift shops and by locals in Greece who enjoy fleecing foreigners.&nbsp;&nbsp; I agree with the suggestions given by some above.&nbsp; If you do not mind well worn coins that circulated for a long time you can get large sestertii of Trajan and Hadrian (bigger names in history) for a few dollars but the same coins in perfect condition will be $10,000.&nbsp; Part of the appeal of ancients is that there are so many of them.&nbsp; It would be possible to have several collections of a thousand coins that did not overlap at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
