echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 3:24 pm Congrats Bob that is an excellent bunch. I like that they are all tets. I think the last would be my favorite also. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 3:31 pm Thanks, Echizento. The third is actually a tiny little (0.62gm) obol, not a tet like the other three. I lean towards tets these days when purchasing, but had to have that obol due to its rarity, the great nose on the portrait, and the fact that it is an ex-Sellwood Collection.
