<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3353686, member: 97383&quot;]The most spectacular image of eagles ever seen on a coin belong to this famous Greek decadrachm that appeared for sale in NYC, by CNG on January 4, 2012. The coin was struck in Akragas, Sicily, c. 409-406 BC, 35.5 mm, 43.41 gm, 12 h. The celators for this masterpiece were Myron, who did the chariot side, &amp; Polykrates, who did the eagle side. The price for this coin was $2,500,000.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, however, instead of being sold it was seized by the District Attorney Cyrus Vance, &amp; officials from Homeland Security because it was illegally brought into the country by Dr. Peter Weiss. The pair of eagles are violently tearing apart a dead rabbit as one eagle lets out screech to the heavens. Oddly an over-sized grasshopper appears in the right field. I&#039;m not sure of the final disposition of this coin but believe it ended up with the Italian government. If I had a choice of any coin in the world to add to my collection it would be this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]887982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]887983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
