Okay => Here Is Syracuse #6 => Hemi-Hemi-Hemilitron!

Wow, my dolphin-coin sure would look cool sitting on the dash of that car, eh?!!





=> Hi Canadian-Banknotes ... zup dawg?

Wow...I did a 1/4 mile in one of those--the most terrifying experience ever, and I like speed.

Since I was mentioned I'll risk talking about coins in a joke thread. The litra was divided into twelve parts but the smallest silver made was the hexas or 1/6 denomination marked with 2 pellets. Mine weighs a bit under .1g. Few survive. In fact it did not take long for the officials to recognize how silly it was to make coins that small so they switched over to bronzes of the same value but large enough not to get lost so easily. Steve's is a nice one of the replacement series. My heart remains with the silvers. Can you imagine the care needed to strike the silvers that small. Both of my small Syracuse coins are on my tiny page:

Collecting these gets frustrating. A dealer asks what you want to see. You answer, "Very small Greek silver." He proudly shows you a hemidrachm and doesn't believe you really wanted something 1/6 that size. You can pretty easily find a few tetartemoria usually with an Apollo head from Phocaea but tiny stuff (under a litra/obol) from Syracuse, Athens or other places are not all that easy.

Very nice coin! That dolphin looks great!

Another awesome coin!

I enjoyed this thread a lot! Great information amid some friendly banter! Awesome!
