[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3202766, member: 76194"]Well, if you don't want to be one of those who pays $2,000+ for a very common classical Athenian tet which survives in the many thousands, you can always cheap out and get a later Atheniat tet with a more realistic portrait of Athena. [ATTACH=full]829299[/ATTACH] Attica Athens AR Tetradrachm (22mm, 17.10 g) Athens Mint, 4rth Century BCE Helmeted head of Athena, r. Owl standing r., head facing, olive sprig and crescent to l; AOE in r. field. SNG Copenhagen 63ff. They typically run you around $400 to $700 depending on condition and is close enough to the classical one that you can probably imagine the classical Athena face on your later tetradrachm, especially if you drink a pack of this: [ATTACH=full]829300[/ATTACH] Just don't drive or operate any heavy machinery for a couple of hours afterwards. If you do, make sure to have me on speed dial to help bail you out. :D[/QUOTE]
