| Notes: | Nov 7, 09 - To my eye and in my mind, this coin is what Greek coins are all about! You can't get any more "Greek" than with a bearded warrior/God of War, in helmet, on the obverse. Just having this coin in the palm of your hand makes one feel like one has something very substantial. It is a heavy, thick, massive coin. The complex devices and legends of the reverse are all there, with little wear after 2400 years. All together just a wonderful Greek coin. One of my favorites and the last of the last to go. Sigh.
Postage and packing charges are $5.00 for one coin or all. I prefer payment by U.S. postal money order, but any reputable source for money orders is fine. The email associated with Tantalus is not, in my experience, reliable. If you are interested in my coins, email me directly as well as using the Tantalus site. My e-address is electrum_io@yahoo.com. Thanks for looking! Breck |
