I have two well-known types of Greek coins from Cilicia for sale and two that are rare types. The famous Baal/lion-attacking bull stater of Tarsos, 361-334 BC (i.e. just before Alexander the Great conquered the region). Two test cuts that, remarkably, miss anything key. Sear Greek 5650. 25 mm. 10.94 grams. [$249] A gorgeous stater of Nagidos in Cilicia. 24 mm. 9.96 grams. 380-360 BC. Aphrodite seated left, Eros behind crowning here with wreath Dionysos standing left, holding cluseter of grapes and thyrsos. Excellent condition. SNG France 2, 21. Sear Greek --, cf. 5579. Marvelous drapery (the best on any ancient coin type?). A real beauty. [$500] Now for the two rarities. Cilicia, Nagidos, stater. c. 400-380 BC. 20-17 mm. 10.18 grams. bearded head of Dionysos with ivy wreath head of Aphrodite right Sear Greek 5580. As I write, none are on vcoins or MA-Shops, and I don't think any have been for a long time. Nice metal. Thick (6 mm max!) Rare. [$135 SOLD] Cilicia, Tarsos, stater. 20-19 mm. 9.16 grams. c. 425-400 BC. SNG Levante 54v. Numismatic Chronicle "The Celenderis Hoard" by Kraay. Tarsos #1 A very early type is very worn condition. Bull standing left with lion attacking his hind quarters ear of grain upright in diamond "TRZ" to right (illegible). von Aulock 5907. As far as I know, none of these are nice, although some are nicer than this one. [$95] (That's a very low price for a very rare type of stater.) Shipping in the US is $5 for coins $100-199 and an extra dollar for each hundred thereafter.
