<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2292464, member: 19463"]I fear you may have trouble finding the hemidrachm with wreath. The wreath is commonly on the stater. Keep an open mind to a plain dove in hemidrachm size. It may just be my inexperience but I have seen more nice staters. Hemidrachms seemed to have circulated a lot so many are worn. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]459603[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>In the opposite regard, I like the Polioketes drachm but the one that came my way is a tetradrachm. Of course in the grade that the high class dealers doing the SF show would carry, a tetradrachm will not be cheap. Mine is beat up but still quite a handful. I wonder if the thing would fit in a slab. It is very thick due to the high relief ship.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]459604[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>For the bargain hunters among us, the type comes in bronze also. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]459605[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
