<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3245736, member: 81093&quot;]Well, I managed to snatch up my first Attica Athens Tetradrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Such an iconic coin, and one that I thought would probably be outside of my desired price range (bearing in mind I didn&#039;t want to pay $400+ USD for a non-gold coin). Still a little more than I would have liked, but a much better price than $400 USD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also smaller flan than I would have preferred, but I quite like the detail that is there. Also, the first ancient bought from an Auction House in Australia too. Hopefully the first of many.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850699[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>ATTICA, </b>Athens, (350-300 B.C.), silver Tetradrachm, (17.10 g)</p><p>Obv. head of Athena to right wearing ivy crested helmet, eye in profile, </p><p>Rev. owl standing to right, head facing, in erect posture, olive twig and crescent behind, to right, **AQE*, all in incuse square</p><p><br /></p><p>The split of the &quot;Ancient Roman and Greek coins&quot; part of my collection, to &quot;Ancient Roman Republic and Empire&quot; and &quot;Ancient Greece and successor states&quot; is coming along swimmingly!</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see if this one comes in 16.78g as well! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
