[QUOTE="dadams, post: 3165363, member: 82194"][FONT=Times New Roman]That is a stellar coin. I've seen tons of silver Attica Athens coins and quite honestly figured they never struck anything in gold as I've never seen a gold piece from there. That's one of the great things about this hobby - always learning. Curiosity led me to this one sold in [URL='https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=132469']Triton XII as Lot: 246 [/URL]back in 2009 and at that time they reported "one of only five known, and the sole example not in a museum collection". I sure am glad this one appeared on the market for you and even happier you won it. I'm sure the agony of anticipation to hold that in your hands was even greater than the excitement you felt in the run up to your win. Congratulations! -dougA [/FONT][/QUOTE]
