<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1941067, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;d been hoping to get one of these for awhile now - in particular, the variety where the nymph has human-like hands and the satyr goat-like feet.&nbsp; It took some time mainly because I wasn&#039;t prepared to pay the $400 - $500 that the more decent examples seem to go for.&nbsp; I recently managed to pick up this one for closer to $250, and while perhaps not in the best condition, the details I was looking for are all present and clear.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At 7.6g, this does seem to be light for the type, where the majority appear to be in the 8.5g - 9g range.&nbsp; In auction records I&#039;ve scanned through, I&#039;ve seen a small handful below 8g and even as low as 7.4g, so at least there seems to be precedence for lighter examples.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Please post your Thasos satyr-nymph staters!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]336691[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>ISLANDS OFF THRACE, THASOS</b></p><p>AR Stater (7.6g, 22mm)</p><p>Circa 463 - 411 BC</p><p>SG 1746, BMC 2.&nbsp; </p><p>O: Nymph with hand raised in protest, not having a good time with a naked, ithyphallic satyr.&nbsp; </p><p>R: Quadripartite incuse, mill sail pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
