[QUOTE="Nicholas Molinari, post: 2489554, member: 78411"]I love these types, even without the countermark. They are usually well preserved, have awesome highlights, and lengthy inscriptions that are perfect for those new to Ancient Greek coins. Here are some of mine, which I acquired early on in my collecting career. [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4085[/url] And my favorite of them: SYRIA, Seleukis & Pieria. Antioch. 38/7 BC. Æ 18mm. Obv: Laureate head of Zeus right. Rev: Tripod; corncuopiae on either side, Tripod, ΑΝΤΙΟΞΕΩΝ ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΩΣ ΑΥΤΟΝΟΜΟΥ Caesarean Era Date BI (12=38/7 BC) in ex., green patina with red-orange earthen highlights, RPC I 4299; SNG Copenhagen 83 var.
