[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2721080, member: 72818"]Cool posts and thread!! I suppose I have a few 'highly scarce' types but this example seems even more scarce since I have yet to stumble upon another offered at auction since I purchased it---and that was about 2 years ago. A classic example that scarcity and value are not necessarily the same thing, especially in fine condition:p Thrace, Byzantion. Ca. 240-200 B.C. AR tetradrachm (26 mm, 12.43 g, 12 h). Athanaion, magistrate. Veiled and wreathed head of Demeter right / ΠY, Poseidon seated right on rocks, holding trident and aphlaston; monogram to left, [E]ΠI AΘANAIΩN[OS] in exergue. Schönert-Geiss 1002 (V13/R20); cf. SNG BM Black Sea 59-61. g Fine, light smoothing in fields. [ATTACH=full]616484[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
