<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 120148, member: 283&quot;]Firstly, i&#039;d be poor counsel to you in relation to your available choices so i&#039;ll shut up on that score. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the cut coin.........I can understand someone somewhere being interested in it but never at that price.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you know, I collect ancients as well. I have two didrachms from the Sicilian city state of Gela. The first one is tyopical for type and pretty straightforward. The second one I nearly didn&#039;t buy because i thought it was a fake. The man headed bull reverse was facing left. Never seen or heard of it before. Nothing on Wildwinds. However, after a fair bit of asking around I found out from one of the more prominent experts on ancients that there were indeed twelve known examples of the coin in question. Well, it&#039;s thirteen now,..... and I got it for a third of the price I paid for the `plain jane&#039; one most probably because other people thought it was a fake too. It&#039;s a bit worn but at least fine condition.&nbsp; My point being, rare as my coin might be, there is no way I would expect to get any more than a few hundred for it. There is nothing about that cut coin that (to me) commands any more than a few hundred in relation to its scarcety. Still, there&#039;s `none so queer as folk&#039; as the saying goes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
