<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 25265041, member: 13650&quot;]Lately I&#039;ve been interested in Corinthian staters.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just love the design.&nbsp;&nbsp; Been reading a little about them trying to understand what&#039;s going on.&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems that they were minted in a range that was from about 350 BC to 4 BC?&nbsp;&nbsp; Then the Romans took over not long after.&nbsp; &nbsp; Did they really produce them for hundreds of years using the same design or was there long breaks?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Ive learned that there are hundreds of different types with the Pegasus and Athena design with varying details signifying where they&#039;re from. </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I realize the Koppa symbol means it was minted in Corinth and that&#039;s what I want, but many other city states produced them as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; All the types are interesting but does anybody know what&#039;s rarer than something else?&nbsp; How do they pinpoint a time period?&nbsp;&nbsp; How do they know one was from 4 BC as opposed to 330 BC?&nbsp; &nbsp; And the big question, where do they come up with valuations?&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s obvious that eye appeal, strike and centering plays a role and the best ones are much more expensive.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I mean, are there a million of them out there?&nbsp;&nbsp; 100k,&nbsp; 1k?&nbsp;&nbsp; Does anyone know?&nbsp; &nbsp; They&#039;re cool but you would think they&#039;d be obscure enough to not be a $1200 coin and I&#039;m wondering if they&#039;re really that rare or the nicer pieces are just rarer?&nbsp;&nbsp; Or maybe they&#039;re not rare at all. </p><p>&nbsp;Are some more desirable than others?&nbsp;&nbsp; .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
