<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3652514, member: 81093&quot;]Hi all</p><p><br /></p><p>As per my post a few days back, I have completed stage 1 of my ancients collection for both Rome and Greek states.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;d really like to do at this point is identify some options for a gold coin for each. I am in no rush, and am very happy to be patient and get this right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I already have a good idea about what I can do on the Roman side, so I have that covered.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what I&#039;m seeking is some advice on the Greek side of the collection - a half decent, affordable, Greek gold coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I&#039;m just being unrealistic (and please feel free to tell me if I am), but criteria I&#039;m looking at is:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. A Greek gold coin from any ancient Greek state/city (I&#039;m not fussed if it&#039;s Bactrian, Seleucid, Bosporus, Ptolemaic, Macedonian, or whatever)</p><p>2. A period where the relevant Greek state was still independent (i.e. not a client state of Rome or whatever)</p><p>4. At least 12mm in diameter, and preferably 15mm or more (which rules out El Hekte coins, I already have one and it&#039;s just a bit too small)</p><p>4. Less than $1500 USD</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been searching the above criteria, but seem to be hitting a wall - hence the question to the good folk at CT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
