[QUOTE="Severatus, post: 2134310, member: 74162"]The market on Philip II Tetradrachms has become real slim and pricey over the last 10 years or so. Like the[B] MACEDONIA [/B](as Roman Protectorate) First Meris Amphipolis Tetradrachm Zumbly posted, I have seen a tremendous contraction of the available examples & quality. I know you could say the same for a ton of types but, the standard corner stones of any collection -da big ol' silver issues.....no TIF not decadrachms ;) The Philip II Tetradrachms of the past were very plentiful - I remember passing over examples because the leaves of Laureate did not have enough details - or the small berries in the Wreath were generic looking - there was a test cut - the metal was slightly porous or maybe his beard was not dynamic enough. I think it does serve to grab these cornerstone pieces when your able - when the example is right cause im sure you all know they just don't always come back around. Philip V Tetradrachms being a great example of this[/QUOTE]
