[QUOTE="greekandromancoins, post: 2962388, member: 87990"]Great addition! I try and avoid collecting gold as I consider it overpriced... I reckon people pay way in excess of the difference in bullion value for golds coins sometimes perhaps, just because they are gold. But admittedly, gold coins were circulated less and thus do appear in higher grades which probably adds to their overall attraction to some collectors. Having said that, a gold stater of Philip II is on my wish list and I am somewhat envious of your purchase above (if you cannot tell!). To answer your initial question, Le Rider, being short for [I]Le monnayage ď 'argent et ďor de Philippe II frappé en Macédoine de 359 à 294 [/I]by Georges Le Rider, is the standard reference for the gold and silver coinage of Philip II. The following coin from my collection is a plate coin from Le Rider. [ATTACH=full]725284[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
