<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2529270, member: 19463&quot;]This is a pretty common type but my experience with this one almost made me buy two from the same dealer at the same show.&nbsp; One was $50 and toned aVF with moderate surfaces.&nbsp; The other was strong aEF with really nice surfaces and $25.&nbsp; How?&nbsp; Simple, centering.&nbsp; I have bought many coins for the purpose of illustrating points for my website but I was spending too much so you will have to trust me.&nbsp; The obverse was so off center that the left face did not show at all.&nbsp; I suspect this may have been the version with dolphin under the Janiform head but that means nothing here.&nbsp; The reverse was better but still lost important details (face) on the aEF.&nbsp; I suspect the other coin with this one&#039;s centering might have been expensive but being on flan is an important feature for a face.&nbsp; I&#039;ll see him again in a month an wonder if he will have sold it.&nbsp; After all, that is a great price for an aEF Greek coin.&nbsp; Somebody won&#039;t notice or care.&nbsp;&nbsp; Who has one to share?</p><p><br /></p><p>Lampsakos, Mysia AR trihemiobol 4th-3rd century BC Female Janiform head&nbsp; / Athena head rt A 12mm 1.08g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]540358[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
