MESEMBRIA , Æ22x24, c. 250-175 BC, Female head r/ Athena adv l, lgnd, as S1677; Choice VF, centered, well struck, dark olive-green patina with hilighting and incredibly luscious smooth surfaces. (A VF (weak strike) realized $404, Hirsch 5/19. I don't cite such prices as necessarily typical. This one seems crazy. But obviously somebody thought the coin was worth that much.)
