<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3144461, member: 19463"]This is what makes the hobby. I agree with what Curtismo said about Theodosius' coin except I would have said it about the other coin (ACG's). I was collecting tiny treasures long before it was cool. It was a bit offensive that 'big' collections often had as many dekadrachms (50 litra pieces) as litra and finding information n smaller coins was hard. We can not fault dealers for handling coins that they know they can sell but it does get old when a show dealer asks what I seek. Say 'Greek fractional silver' and they show drachms.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have coins from both cities and neither is anything near as nice as the contestants.
