<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 4833513, member: 57495&quot;]Interesting piece!&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen one before, nor have I seen brockages of Corinthian colts, or any from the various cities of Magna Graecia producing silver coinage of this weight standard during this period.&nbsp; They&#039;re probably out there, but I imagine they&#039;re rare too.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s the sort of oddity that would hold less appeal to the average collector, who&#039;d rather spend their cash on any of the very many regular pretty examples that regularly come up for auction.&nbsp; I like Tarentine dolphin-riders enough to have a number of them, and I would&#039;ve liked that coin, but I doubt I would have wanted to pay more than 180€, if even that.&nbsp; If it had been a reverse brockage with the dolphin-rider, however, I might have!&nbsp; Of course, we&#039;ll never know how high the winner would have gone... short of their dropping by this thread to answer the question.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Not anywhere near as rare as a brockage, but my most recent dolphin-rider is not a regular issue either, and it being a hybrid fourrée, I expected a &quot;fourrée discount&quot; for it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I paid around $110 after fees.&nbsp; The provenance dating back to the 1920s was a nice little bonus.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1168849[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
