<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1953298, member: 19463&quot;]Looking at this coin I see two things that keeps it from being the desired item.&nbsp; It is a smaller denomination and the style just is not the same as seen on the larger staters.&nbsp; I do not see it as anything bad in any way but it simply is not the Greek coin of dreams.&nbsp;&nbsp; Those unaware of the issue may want to see this coin that sold for over $50k:</p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1537200" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1537200" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1537200</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>My collection is filled with coins of these same faults but most are much worse.&nbsp; Many of our members would love to have a dekadrachm of Syracuse.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even dream that high but I am happy to have two coins both smaller and lower grade to fill that niche.&nbsp; I will point out that both of my coins are 100 time more rare than the dekadrachms but I know that means nothing in the market.&nbsp; </p><p>First is a nicely executed half litra (1/100 of a dekadrachm)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]342783[/ATTACH] </p><p>Next is a really bad example of a hexas (1/300 of a dekadrachm)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]342784[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
