[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3652889, member: 96635"]I do not think this is such an impossible task, you just need to wait for a coin with the right price/condition ratio. Above 15mm will definitively be a stater, I was thinking about a Philip II 1/4 stater but they are around 10-12mm, however very affordable. With a budget of max 1500 USD, I will think of a Philip II, Alexander the Great or Philip III stater of around good fine will do. And as Doug mentioned, a Mithridates VI stater in the name and types of Lysimachos will do as well, in very fine condition. I found this Mithridate VI stater sold 1 year ago for 1100 euro (~1220 USD) excluding commission, in AU condition.
