<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2293090, member: 19463&quot;]If you like eagles, consider looking at Greeks or Provincials.&nbsp; Most common are the tetradrachms of Alexandria where just about any reverse sells better than the common eagle.&nbsp; Other cities often have larger flans and different poses you might like.&nbsp; Finding birds other than eagles will be harder.&nbsp; </p><p>Caracalla Antioch</p><p>[ATTACH=full]459807[/ATTACH] </p><p>Elagabalus&nbsp; Nicopolis</p><p>[ATTACH=full]459808[/ATTACH] </p><p>Salonina Alexandria</p><p>[ATTACH=full]459809[/ATTACH] </p><p>IMHO the best bird type was used by Akragas, Sicily, in the 5th-3rd centuries BC. Two eagles are eating a hare.&nbsp; A nice silver dekadrachm might bring a few million</p><p><a href="https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=472&amp;category=10357&amp;lot=485197" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=472&amp;category=10357&amp;lot=485197" rel="nofollow">https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=472&amp;category=10357&amp;lot=485197</a></p><p>but it comes in smaller silver and bronzes like this 3rd century AE21 which would have been a lot better had the rabbit head been on the flan.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]459810[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
