<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4528397, member: 110226&quot;]I was able to locate one more Starr Group V tetradrachm in my collection, from Roma Numismatics, E-Sale 62. This example hammered at&nbsp; £340, plus 20% buyer&#039;s commission and currency conversion, so the final cost was around $550.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.romanumismatics.com/catalogue_images/auction/xlarge/17100.3.21_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Attica, Athens AR Tetradrachm. Circa 465-460 BC. Head of Athena right, wearing crested Attic helmet ornamented with three olive leaves above visor and spiral palmette on bowl, round earring with central boss, and pearl necklace / Owl standing to right with head facing, olive sprig and crescent behind, ΑΘΕ before; all within incuse square. Starr group V.A, series 3; HGC 4, 1596. 17.11g, 24mm, 10h.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very Fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the inventory of a UK dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not the best example around, to be sure, but it was relatively affordable.&nbsp; Anything super high grade in this category costs big bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just received the Chester Starr reference on Friday, so I am looking forward going through the collection to identify any other candidates, but I suspect they will be few and far between, if that.&nbsp; The vast numbers will fall later in time, during the mass production, and in the providence Christophe Flament&#039;s work on Athenian tetradrachms of that period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
