<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JonySky, post: 299690, member: 3802&quot;]I just received a very nice 1/12 Stater of Miletos, Ionia, it is 12mm and just a bit over 1 gram. I let my wife look at it thru my magnifying glass to see the details of the lion head. She asked me how so many very nice Greek coins survived until now? Well I know that many have been found in hoardes uncovered in recent times, but that can&#039;t be how all survived. Were there coin collectors in ancient times? How else could some of the near uncirculated coins still exist? Are there any books that give details of the hoardes that have been found in modern times? I be grateful for any information on the subject. JonySky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
