    1 of 5 nice set*.
    Shipped with USPS First Class Package.
    Doesn't get much older. This coin is from the 3RD - 2nd Century before Christ.  So 2020 + 250 + + 2270 + Y's Old. Now that's goin back some.
    Boeotia, Modern Greek Voiotía, district of ancient Greece with a distinctive military, artistic, and political history. It corresponds somewhat to the
    modern perifereiakí enótita (regional unit) of Boeotia, Central Greece (Modern Greek: Stereá Elláda) periféreia (region), northern Greece.
    Now this coin really got my attention.  I love it.  It has neat figures on it.
    This one's in a special holder, MARKED NGC ANCIENTS, so you can get the feel and look of it.  I paid extra for that for you.  I got the coins
    when on a Med cruise a while back.  Liked them so much I had them graded recently... Last January.  I have 5 others listed, sure would like
    to see them stay together.
    Coin collecting for me was to amass as much as I could, no matter value, population or condition.  I just wanted to get something from all times
    and places. Did a pretty good job and now at nearly 74 y's old, and no one in the family to carry on, I'm turning this into retirement money.
    (and no time too soon too)
    Thanks for looking at this rare and beautiful old bit of history.  Hope you enjoyed and if you want it good luck in the bidding.
    * right now all five coins of the set are available.  Once someone buys one of the set, there it goes.  So, if you want all 5, let me know,
    and I'll make you a special price for all 6.
    Lastly, when dealing with ancient coins, one must expect the old ways, with no machines to make perfect coins, having errors was really the
    normal (norm)  But this one, has an over strike which NGC noted, actually making this an error coin but I did not add anything to the price for it.
