<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2058264, member: 19463&quot;]Achaean League. Lakedaemon. AR Hemidrachm, circa 175-168 BC.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]379151[/ATTACH] </p><p>I get a kick out of this Achaean League issue which seems to vary the most of all in terms of price.&nbsp; There are several variations but some people are willing to pay more for a coin of Lakedaemon(Sparta) than for cities they have never heard of.&nbsp; Sparta issued no coins when they were a major power in Greece but centuries later the relatively unimportant remains issued these as members of the League.&nbsp; Does that make them more collectible?&nbsp; If you want a coin of Sparta, this is the choice.&nbsp; Some dealers sell them cheap; others go for the moon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
