<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2331645, member: 19463&quot;]I would like to see links to better examples of Steve&#039;s coin.&nbsp; I have not seen them.&nbsp; The countermark appears more clearly on host coins that are worn slick and I have seen a couple with stronger undertypes but not at all clear faces on the c/m.&nbsp; In addition, this one is not even the common variety of undertype as shown by the legend behind the eagle.&nbsp; No one cares about that sort of thing but a sale that regularly draws large multiples of estimate really should have driven this one to twice the price.&nbsp; When this old cheapskate says a coin went too low.....</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin has some history considering what happened in Akragas about the time it was issued.&nbsp; Google it.&nbsp; My junkers below show more pedestrian versions of the common variety with and without the countermark.&nbsp; I&#039;d love to see your mint state examples of either.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]472748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472749[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
