<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3732601, member: 19463&quot;]Obols are not all that rare but we see fewer because dealers resist stocking coins that sell poorly.&nbsp; Good looking obols are less common than good looking tetradrachms because most are individual &#039;field&#039; finds rather than &#039;bank vault&#039; amphora where the coins are protected from the elements.&nbsp; This has either A or AP in the left field.&nbsp; Does that make it Byblos or Arados?&nbsp; It also has obverse damage that would be held against a tet but I tolerate because this is an obol.&nbsp; I suspect many of these were made and most were lost/used up in daily commerce. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000834[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
