■ Key Points
*Rarity
This is an extremely rare piece that is unlikely to be found again. While multiple silver staters from ancient Corinth depicting Pegasus and Athena have been discovered, variations in the direction of Pegasus, the design, and the motifs accompanying Athena mean that no two coins are the same. This coin is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
*Condition
Graded by NGC as Ch VF Strike: 4/5 Surface: 3/5, where "Ch VF" stands for "Choice Very Fine." This grade indicates a circulated coin with some wear but is still in relatively good condition among similar coins.
- Strike: 2nd from the top of a 5-level scale
- Surface: 3rd from the top of a 5-level scale
While not in the highest condition due to its age, it is still very collectible.
*Marketability
Silver staters featuring Pegasus and Athena, despite being discovered in multiple variations, remain popular among collectors due to their unique designs. The unclear motif accompanying Athena is thought to be a rose, wreath, or similar symbol. Each coin differs in its striking position due to ancient minting techniques, making each piece unique and encouraging collectors to seek more.
Athena, appearing in Greek mythology as the goddess of Corinth, was revered as the city’s guardian deity. It is said that a prince of Corinth was given Pegasus by Athena, which he used to defeat the monster Chimera.
Given the enduring popularity of the Pegasus motif and the rising silver prices, this coin is sure to increase in value over time. Add this remarkable piece to your collection while you can!
