    2. Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. In the ancient world, it was famous for the Colossus of Rhodes, a large, bronze statue of the sun god Helios – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here is Helios on a didrachm struck in the 3rd century BC. This coin is well-centered with a great bust, a little roughness, and a little ancient dirt. In such an appealing condition, it would run you at least $300 at vcoins compare here. $225 shipped.
