[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 2261317, member: 44357"]Thanks everyone! My hemihekte is thought to be the only known example with [B]any [/B]part of both lions showing, and hektes are equally tough to find in any form of completeness. CNG had a neat offering recently with two coins from the same die, one with the left lion and one with the right. Realistically, there won't be a hekte with a broad enough flan to completely show both lions. Mine has a very nicely executed left lion and I may eventually try to find a right lion as well, but I think at this point, any further coins would be new additions rather than upgrades as they would sacrifice some element present on my existing examples to include an additional part. The only hekte with both on part of the flan which has appeared on the market in recent years is this example: [url]http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1236905[/url] and while I can appreciate it from a technical perspective, I personally don't find it particularly attractive, so I'll continue waiting :)[/QUOTE]
