<p>[QUOTE="Voulgaroktonou, post: 5316152, member: 84047"]It could be, but I will check it out when I research yours. I'd like to share with you a story that goes with my coin. When I was a child many years ago, my dad took me to a coin show and bought me that coin plus a Leukas stater, which is below. My dad died in 1968. Fast forward a decade to when I was in graduate school. My VW engine died, and money being short, I sold the Boiotian and Corinthian type stater to a dealer friend. I bought a new engine which served for a few years. But I always regretted selling those coins. Almost 20 years later, my friend asked me if I would like to buy them back (He knew what they meant to me). I did, and I think he made a $15 dollar profit per coin! Although they are both rather worn, no sum could make me part with them again. Dad died 52 years ago, and when I hold those coins, he becomes for me alive again in the memories of that day over a half century ago, when he spent that afternoon with me at the coin show.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1224534[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
