[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8081470, member: 56859"]Wow, Curtis! Each of those really is a bargain. I was able to pick one favorite for each of the price categories (haha). Seriously, it is extremely difficult to pick a favorite bargain. While FTRs are extremely common, the artistry of that one is remarkable and when combined with the price tag... I'm really impressed! Great snag :) The Elagabalus is a terrific example of the type and with a much lower price tag than expected. Love the Homer... I keep bookmarking examples but just haven't pulled the trigger. Years ago I vied for a different type of Homer coin but it ended up in AJ's collection. Still wish it were mine. The Perge cult status of Artemis is an interesting coin. Love the Etenna. Here's mine, certainly not the bargain that yours was but with a Leu hammer of 85 CHF, it was a relative bargain considering the venue :rolleyes:. [I][IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/etennachalkous-rt-jpg.654158/[/IMG][/I] [B]PISIDIA, Etenna[/B] 1st century BCE AE chalkous, 14 mm, 2.1 gm Obv: Nymph advancing right, head left, holding coiled serpent in both hands; to left, amphora Rev: ET-EN Curved knife Ref: SNG Copenhagen 147. SNG Paris 1334 = SNG von Aulock 466.[/QUOTE]
