I've gone round and round between Dougsmit's Corinth Pegasus and maridvnvm's Sinope for #1. But my final vote is for:
Gold: Dougsmit...Corinth stater
Silver: maridvnvm...Sinope
Bronze: maridvnvm...Ptolemy VI

Gold--Maridvnvm #1 Sinope, Paphlagonia, Silver Drachm
Silver--Dougsmit #1 Corinth Stater
Bronze--Jwharper #1. Domitian, AR Denarius,

Martin I agree and I don't have one but at 4.75g, I think this is a full not half. Admittedly it is a bit light but a hemi ought to be 2.6g or so, shouldn't it? In all honesty I don't recall a half but have seen quarters (often called trihemiobol). Do you have fractions? |

Doh! I didn't look at size and weight. At 4.75g it certainly falls in the weight rsnge of a full drachm.

Oops => sorry gang ... innocent slip o' the type fingers ... => it is "NOT" a hemidrachm ... it is a "drachm" (I must have already been thinking ahead to my coin #2 which is actually a hemidrachm ... my bad)  => tell ya what => If I end-up being in the money, then I promise that I'll donate it all to the Humane Society Edited by stevex6

 With little more research I still fail to find a half. Small ones are quarters or smaller. I have one at .3g which might be a 1/12 or 1/16 and is shown with a whole above. I have a barbarous looking quarter and it does seem that most of the small ones are a lot more crude than the staters. It is a subject I need to study more! |
