Multiple Lots. Lot of ten Phokis obols (includes two struck at Nikaia), 5th century BC. Very fine or better. 461.1: 1.03 g., 7¢. Acquired from Spink’s, April 1997, for £ 120. Dies not in Williams but part of the earliest issue of obols such as lots 171 ff above. 461.2: 0.94 g., 12¢. Williams 33 (O.25 / R.21). 461.3: 0.90 g., 12¢. Ex Spink 68 (22 March 1989) lot 63 (part). Williams - (O.- / R.58). The obverse is similar to O.67. Williams post 92. 461.4: 0.89 g., 10¢. Williams 134 corr. (O.94 / R.79). [SNG Lockett 1713 is clearly O.94 / R.79 and not O.95 / R.79]. This coin should therefore be Williams 133 bis. 461.5: 0.95 g., 7¢. Williams 177 (O.125 / R.108). 461.6: 1.03 g., 9¢. Williams 210 (O.151 / R.124). 461.7: 0.96 g., 8¢. Williams 222 (O.158 / R.130). 461.8: 0.89 g., 4¢. Williams 269 (O.193 / R.159). 461.9: 0.75 g., 3¢. Not in Williams but the obverse from the same hand as O.196 and O.197 and the reverse from the same hand as R.165. Obviously a coin of Nikaia. Williams post 274. 461.10: 0.87 g., 12¢. Acquired in June 1980 from Professor H. C. Lindgren who purchased it in 1968 while in Athens. Dies not in Williams but style similar to section 19 (see R.164) and therefore a coin of Nikaia. Williams post 282. A group of choice Phokian obols, some of them very attractive indeed.
