<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3652577, member: 44316"]You have set yourself a difficult, if not impossible, task. Just to see some possibilities I searched on "gold stater" and some other similar terms at vcoins and saw nothing close and nothing that looked like it would suit even if cheaper. Gold is not the usual metal for Greek city coins so thoughts turn to staters of Alexander and they are not that inexpensive if their condition is as nice as usual. Carthage is perhaps the best possibility (if you consider it to be "Greek"). I therefore recommend you visit some auction consolidators on this page:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/dealers.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/dealers.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/dealers.html</a></p><p>and use their search engines. It is very likely that any $1500 gold coin would be cheaper at auction than fixed-price. I expect you will either have to accept a low condition example or look a very long time without success or change your criteria by deciding you are willing to pay more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
