<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 7887425, member: 96898&quot;]Reason 3: The unassuming small coin on the bottom left is a Lydian 1/6 bull-and-lion (“Kroisos”) stater. That is an iconic and very desirable type. The picture is too small to see much detail, but Albrecht &amp; Hoffmann generally sold only quality coins in their auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reason 4: The third coin in the middle row is a Rhodian drachm of fine obverse style. The Busso Peus ticket makes me hope that the reverse is nice, too. The same applies to the Achaian and Thessalian league drachms. Both have very nice obverses and were apparently graded “sehr schön” (very fine) by respectable dealers in the 70s. If their reverses match the grades on the tickets and the obverse condition, these will make stately additions to my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
