<p>[QUOTE="Bing, post: 1880795, member: 44132"]These little coins are very interesting, especially in good condition. I'm always amazed at the detail the Ancients were able to get unto such small flans. I believe, however, that the price of your coin with shipping is on the high side considering the condition. Not by much, but some. I own three of these. All cost me around the same price, but IMHO they are in slightly better condition. For example:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]319024[/ATTACH]</p><p>This one cost almost exactly what you paid. And mine is not great quality either, but I'm a budget and deal shopper. I've seen some others posted here on this forum that make mine look like junk. Someone told me that on these coins from Cherronesos you should look for a complete lion on the obverse. Also, there are many devices used on the reverse which can make these fun to shop for and collect. Things such as lizards, helmets, and the like. My advice is to shop around and be patient when you see a coin you would like to add to your collection. But patience is the key.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
