<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2145841, member: 19463&quot;]It is a wonderful series.&nbsp; The question is not so much whether it is a scarcer one but whether the minor types add any demand for the specific coin as opposed to just any coin of Corinth in similar grade.&nbsp; AJ mentions his wanting a specific dove in wreath.&nbsp; I would not mind having the Chimera version for a similar reason.&nbsp; TIF showed the Selinos mask which I consider to be the best device available (just my opinion).&nbsp; Zumbly showed one with the &#039;slightly rude&#039; and &#039;Eyth&#039; name inscribed additions.&nbsp;&nbsp; I showed one with boring Nike but everything was centered on flan.&nbsp; The point is which of these coins is &#039;better&#039;.&nbsp; It has next to nothing to do with rarity.&nbsp;&nbsp; I consider the best feature of your coin being that tiny lion head above the front of her helmet giving you a second device on one coin.&nbsp; I would love to be able to collect this series deeply enough to include all those mentioned and some from the other cities like the gem that started this thread.&nbsp; That is not going to happen.&nbsp; Are there enough people trying to fill out this set to make a difference whether a specific type is common or scarce or are most looking for a few great coins?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]411087[/ATTACH] </p><p>Just to show another coin, I&#039;ll add a Leukas with Lion I bought in the mid 1980&#039;s from Charles H. Wolfe (one of my favorite dealers few of you will remember) for $180 making it the first coin I ever paid three digits for.&nbsp; Looking back, it might have been overpriced then but this IS a wonderful series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
