    Intro prices are getting lower and lower. Too many getting thrown out at once. Lol. Mintage here says 500, but another dealer says 999. Be careful. Make sure you confirm 100%.

    by the way, they're calling it gods, isn't a goddess? What am I missing? Is the person on the Chariot the goddess?

    also #1 in the series is this (auction - one was sold for $132.00 - ouch).
