chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 02/05/2013 9:29 pm hey guys, check out my new pontos amisos coin, 8.25 shipped to my house...pretty great for that price! Pontos-Amisos circa 100 BC Aegis with facing Gorgon in the centre Nike advancing right, holding palm over shoulder with both hands. here's the sellers original pic, thought it may have some BD on the obverse so I cleaned it up tad. what's do all the green arrows mean by the way?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/05/2013 9:40 pm Attractive coin for the price. I bought one of these in half a grade lower for $4, but that was more than two decades ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 02/06/2013 01:48 am Nice pick-up. I like coins of Pontos Amisos. I have one like this yours, but it cost quite a bit more. I intend to get a few more types. Have you ever noticed how many of these have scrape or file marks across the flan? Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/07/2013 11:35 am Nice example! The Nike is also a big girl, I have a similar AE from the Amisos mint (of the era of Mithradates the great), but both the Gorgon in Aegis and Nike are smaller. Report this Post to the Staff
