[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3301866, member: 96635"]First of all thank you everyone yet again for the valuable opinions and advices. I gladly take your advice and I decided to take neither. Eventhough I really like the coin type and #2 seems ideal, the head keeps bothering me and I am sure it will keep bothering me even in 10 years. #1 has an amazing head but the detail of everything else is really lacking. After all it is 210 and 170 dollars, it is still quite a lot of money. I hope that in the near future I will find a #2 with a face #1 even if it cost me 50 dollars more, atleast I have a coin I am happy to own then. I am not in a hurry, it is a hobby not a business after all. Thank you all! I did get this Thasos diobol which looks amazing in my opinion, a very artistic obverse, this will keep me satisfied from not having a Chios drachm (yet) :) [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/csunVms.jpg[/IMG] [B]Thasos AR Diobol. Circa 510-480 BC. Obverse: [/B]Satyr running right. [B]Reverse: [/B]Quadripartite incuse square. 0.82g; 12mm It has a really interesting design compared to other examples I have seen, it looks like the hulk from the Satyrs.[/QUOTE]
