I&#039;m just glad I&#039;m not in a dust-up against either of these guys. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think the siglos was scored for a very nice price, but the ridiculous pittance paid for that Themistokles hemiobol, literally a tiny fraction of what it ought to have sold for,</p><p>just <i>floors</i> me. </p><p><br /></p><p>The interest category may be a little harder to weigh, IMHO.&nbsp; The siglos is the sort of seminal type I think deserves to be in every collector of ancients&#039; coin pile, but I think the historical coolness of a coin issued by Themistokles can&#039;t be overstated.&nbsp; Rarity in and of itself may not be all that important, but in this case, it gave the edge to the Themistokles hemiobol in the Interest category for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both great coins and ones that are high on my want list![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
