[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8140234, member: 56859"]Oooh, fantastic, all of them! My favorite by far is the Lysimachos tet. I've wanted one for years and didn't make it a priority... now prices are so high I can't seem to acquire the type I want for the price I want. [B]Yours[/B] has everything I want: one of the more artistic portraits, gentle even wear, wonderful toning. Envious!! The Olympia stater is my next pick, followed by the Rhodes didrachm and Larissa. Both the Rhodes and Larissa have remarkably unsmooshed noses-- hard to find! That may be the sweetest portrait of Larissa I've seen. Sweet as in she looks kind and gentle, not sweet as in "Saweeet, dude!" although I guess that fits too :D. Edited to add that is my favorite reverse type for the Larissa drachms. I'd love to have a Terina with that reverse. I know nothing about the Khwarezmia but can appreciate that sharp and exotic (to my Western eyes) portrait. I love the Macedon repubic provincials, of course-- and bought your cast-off in AMCC3 :D (second coin in the pics that follow). Don't know why I keep buying them-- my first one was certainly a nice example... but I bought two more this year :sorry:. The price for yours was just too good to pass up :).
