Selected Harlan J. Berk 206th Buy or Bid Sale Lots

Michael Markowitz of CoinWeek highlighted a number of choice lots in the Harlan J. Berk 206th Buy or Bid Sale. Here's one that particularly caught my eye. -Editor

Calabria, Tarentum; c. 325-281 BC, Stater, 7.76g. Vlasto-657. Obv: Naked horseman r., crowning himself, S? and Ionic capital below. Rx: Taras on dolphin l., holding sea-snake; KOM below. Taras holds a sea snake in his hand which is very clear in this coin. Sea snakes are always poisonous, but rarely aggressive. The reverse of this coin is beautifully designed and wonderfully struck.
