[QUOTE="Mat, post: 5383786, member: 21445"]Late last year I purchased this coin from Harlans BOB but asked them to hold it after new Year & I received it just recently. I've always admired this type but never really been in a rush to get one. Price seemed fair when comparing other examples at the time. So like the lion I pounced on it. After almost 12 years collecting ancients, I still lack a good amount of greek coins, so it's always nice to add a new one, especially types such as this. Included Harlan Video.
