Ah! The grandaddy of ancient Greek coins IMO. I love the design. Nice pick up Glenn.

Very nice. It looks like she is crying she is so happy.

That's one of those "classic" coins I want to buy one day.

Very nice coin, I can't wait to see it in person Glenn!

That is my favorite ancient.

Very nice coin, I agree. I also agree with Ajaan that it is probably the sweetest ancient out there.

But as I have already sold my soul to the devil, I will have to wait for my next promotion to get one.

I also really like that design. What kind of price tag do they carry?

I believe they start around $500 and go up into the low stratosphere.
