Message:: [QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 7965214, member: 42773"]The Komana issues of the Perseus types are indeed rare - as you've noticed, most offerings on the market are from Amisos. Your example is absolutely NOT "of a poor overall quality." These issues are notorious for abundant flan adjustment marks, weak strikes, heavy circulation wear, and deposits. Take a look at <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_DESC=perseus+medusa+pontos&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_NAME=&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_DESC=perseus+medusa+pontos&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_NAME=&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1" rel="nofollow">these examples</a> at CNG for instance. It's a damn shame since they're the only type I'm aware of that dramatically depicts the Perseus/Medusa myth, but that's the way it goes with ancient coins sometimes. I would be very pleased to have your example in my collection for its rarity alone.[/QUOTE]
