<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1893336, member: 44132&quot;]I like your coin since I have one similar.&nbsp; But I&#039;m curious.&nbsp; When you saw the coin at the Baltimore show, did you know anything about it&#039;s history?&nbsp; Were you aware the coin was placed for auction with an estimate at $400 and did not sell?&nbsp; If you knew this, how did you know it was this particular coin?&nbsp; Did you have your computer at hand or did the seller confirm it&#039;s history?</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I ask all this is that I am amazed sometimes at your knowledge.&nbsp; Depending on your answers to these questions, I could be very amazed at your memory as well.&nbsp; You and I are of similar age, and I can honestly say my memory is not what it once was.&nbsp; In fact, sometimes I&#039;m lucky to remember what I ate for supper the night before (okay, that is a slight exaggeration).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I purchased my Phokis Triobol in November 2012 at a price of $198 shipped.&nbsp; It is also a ex Rockefeller University / Dr. Alfred E. Mirsky Collection coin, so I overpaid because of the pedigree.&nbsp; Your price of $125 is excellent in my opinion even with the flaws you note.&nbsp; The incuse square on yours is pronounced, the metal looks better, and the bulls head has better detail.&nbsp; Mine has Apollo with decent detail verses your Artimis with less detail.&nbsp; All in all, you got a good price I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]322952[/ATTACH] </p><p>PHOKIS, FEDERAL COINAGE AR Triobol&nbsp; </p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; Bull’s head facing&nbsp; </p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; Laureate head of Apollo right, Φ-Ω before, lyre behind&nbsp; </p><p>Struck at Phokis 357-346 BC&nbsp; </p><p>2.50g, 14mm&nbsp; </p><p>SNG Cop 121[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
