<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1921403, member: 19463&quot;]This is a nice one.&nbsp; Athenian silver appears in the catalog down to 1/8 obol but I have not seen one of these offered in the decades I have been looking.&nbsp; There is one listed on acsearch but IMHO it is not even Athenian but some Eastern fraction copying the type.&nbsp; The 1/8 and 1/2 share the type of the full obol (and the tetradrachm) but some of the other fractions are easier to spot.&nbsp; Below is my 3/4 obol (ex-NFA, years ago) and my hemiobol.&nbsp; Obols are not hard to find.&nbsp; Hemiobols are a bit scarce.&nbsp; Any of the other fractions are rare.&nbsp;&nbsp; I really would like to know the existing population of each of these denominations.&nbsp; I have seen more dekadrachms than all smaller than the hemiobol but that may be because dealers who have a dekadrachm used to advertise them (this may have changed when Greece started suing to get them back) and few people care about the little guys.&nbsp; I would really appreciate seeing any photo of a real hemitartemorion if anyone knows where one is.&nbsp; The Sear plate coin is not clear since it is life size. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]330083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
