<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3012751, member: 57463&quot;]It is one of my favorite series of coins. The towns of Mytilene and Lesbos had an agreement to issue electrum in alternate years. First of all, of course, was the continuation of electrum on its own merits long after Croesus (Kroisos) first struck coins of just silver and just gold. We forget too easily that electrum continued for hundreds of years thereafter... and, truthfully, even into modern times. The series ran for over 150 years. You would have to be very wealthy to pursue it completely, but you can find very many very nice examples, whatever your collecting interests. For the modest collector, one (maybe two) will be wonderful additions to your own museum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
