[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7980900, member: 115909"]I agree with you that €17 is a fantastic price for that coin even if it is a bit rough condition wise. Oh wow I didn’t know the Romans put Pegasus on their coins too! I thought that was a Greek mythology thing. Then again the Romans copied a lot of Greek culture so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. Greek: Zeus Roman: Jupiter Greek: Hera Roman Athena etc., I would much rather have a Roman coin than a Greek one since Roman coins are the main focus of my collection. But on the other hand I really do want one of those Corinthian staters without any words on it. Idk why but to me coins just look so beautiful without a bunch of writing on them. Maybe it’s because the design has more space. The hard part is actually finding one at a good price. Unfortunately none of my local dealers have ancient coins often and when they do it’s usually stuff I’m not interested in. Like tiny copper coins with corrosion. Such as a Widow’s Mite in VG condition. Any idea on some good places to look that are based in the United States?[/QUOTE]
