<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2968255, member: 76181&quot;]Bon jour</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago I bought a wonderful &#039;cubist&#039; style tet (below) that was subsequently stolen.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.ancients.info/gallery/data/3547/thasos_imitation.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly, the artist was the inspiration for Picasso (I jest.)&nbsp; Despite what others would call ugly, I had to have it. I loved it. Who knows where it could possibly be... sigh.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen another quite like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, today I purchased this.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/eastern-europe-imitations-of-thasos.7707/full?d=1516208930" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>EASTERN EUROPE, Imitations of Thasos. </b>Late 2nd-1st century BC. AR Tetradrachm (33mm, 15.93 g, 12h). Mint in the lower Danube region. Stylized head of Dionysos right, wearing ivy wreath / Stylized Herakles standing right, holding club, lion skin draped over arm; legend highly degraded. OTA Class III/A. Good VF, toned, graffito under tone on reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately I paid a fraction of the price that I paid for the stolen coin.&nbsp; I just had to have that mug again (or something close.)&nbsp; Now I need to find a nice Thasos as a counterpoint (that coin was also stolen.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Ugly is the new pretty. (or not)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Au revoir.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ;-)</p><p><br /></p><p>M[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
