[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8167447, member: 80952"][USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] - congratulations! I am always happy for a collector who gets a nice overlooked coin in his or her area of interest. The coin is very OK and I'm sure it has its special place in your collection. I have never bought a coin from unsold lots. Also my only birds of prey in my collection are plain old eagles but here is one I am very fond of, as it is a type I always wanted, but missed some - the nice ones were too expensive and the affordable ones with too many issues. [ATTACH=full]1426284[/ATTACH] Moesia. Istrus circa 280 - 256/255 BC Obol or Trihemiobol AR 12 mm, 0,77 g Facing male heads, the left one inverted / IΣTΡIH, Sea-eagle left on dolphin, ΔI beneath dolphin. Dima, Tabelul III, Grupa IV, Subgrupa VII, II – Pl XXI, 10 A rare variety with left head inverted and eagle and dolphin facing right. It was a big surprise that people didn't like this and the price was more (or less) than my most optimistic expectations.[/QUOTE]
