<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1854756, member: 44357&quot;]I quite like the types posted by TIF and IdesOfMarch01, and both coins (trite/stater) are on my wantlist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like the simplicity of the striated staters:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ionia-Electrum-Stater-c.650-600-BC-510x195.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Ionia, Uncertain (c.650-600 BC), Electrum Stater, Milesian standard, striated surface of scored lines, rev irregular vertical punchmark between two square punchmarks 14.28g (BMC 1, pl.III, 3 = Traité pl.I, 12).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And I also like the geometric trites. I thought I had won this coin from the latest Triton sale but somehow my online bid didn&#039;t make it in, unfortunately. There is another example coming up in a couple months which I&#039;ll be chasing after:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.sixbid.com/images/auction_images/1085/1016578l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>IONIA, Uncertain. </b>Circa 625-600 BC. EL Trite – Third Stater (11mm, 4.61 g). Lydo-Milesian standard. Geometric type.
