I just added six coins to my page of $5-$15 coins: http://augustuscoins.com/inexpensive.html They are mostly Greek AE and the rest of the page is mostly late Roman. While I was at it I redid my Greek coin page and that has some high-quality coins (discussed below): Lydia, Sardis 2nd-1st C. BC 16 mm. Thick head right Apollo standing left clear legend to the right of Apollo: ΣAPΔIANΩN Sear Greek 4734 [$15] Antoninus Pius, 141-160 17 mm. uncertain mint--you figure it out. [$9] While I was at it I redid my Greek coin page and that has some high-quality coins: Poseidonia, Lucania, Italy Stater. 18-17 mm. Thick! 7.90 grams. Ex. Berk list 46 lot 235 (Dec. 10, 1986) buy at $275 (in 1986!)

Chimera (mythical creature--lion with goat's head projecting from the back and tail ending in a snake's head) ΣE below Dove flying left, wreath c.431-400 BC. ex Ex-Matrisciano Collection, California Apparently bought from Malter between 1965 and 1980. It has a nearly old-style Malter ticket with "17" on it, but think it was bought in the store because I didn't find it in Malter catalogs. An impressive large coin with good toning. Very attractive. [$495 + $9 shipping in the US] Please compare prices elsewhere. [$129] (This is better than any on vcoins as I write. The only one on vcoins which is almost as nice as this one is $195) Byblos, Phoenicia. AR12-11 mm. 0.80 grams. Galley with hoplites left over hippocamp Lion attacking bull, remarkably strong lettering above. King Ainel, before c. 333 BC. Sear 6014 and much better than their photo of the similar 6010.
