<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7571444, member: 19463"]For a 'rare' coin, a lot of us seem to have some. I consider them common but it is rare to find them really nice on both sides struck on a decent flan. I believe my first was cut by an artist but his work was paired with a worn reverse and struck on a ragged flan. What percentage show the Medusa head on the shield? Clear specimens like those shown by Tejas establish the item over his shoulder is not a spear. It has a blunt device on the end. Below it is a smaller item on some (mine, Tejas' first) but not all. What does Göbl have to say about the matter? I never have seen his book.</p><p>My best is ex. Ed Waddell, 1990. Ed has always had wonderful coins. In 1990 he had some in my price bracket. That changed long before the Covid bubble hit.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1305450[/ATTACH] </p><p>In 2012 I gave up looking for one like the first and bought this ordinary one from the late Don Zauche to have a better reverse. Don sold lower priced coins and let this one go for a bit under twice the 1990 specimen. I miss 1990 and hope to see Ed again someday; I miss 2012 and I <i>really</i> miss Don. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1305451[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
