mruseful New Member United Kingdom 29 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 04:48 am Here is my 2nd Greek problem coin. Diameter is 16mm. Thought this one may be from Megaris with Apollo on the obverse/Tripod on the reverse but I'm just not convinced. The lettering doesn't tally somehow. Hopefully someone out there will know. Great obverse but the other side lets it down somewhat. Edited by mruseful 01/13/2017 05:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 01/14/2017 11:10 am I was thinking of this one http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sg/sg0477.html but obviously it is in silver so not a good match. Dwayne might have got it because you can see traces of the legends at each side too seem to match up. I am always impressed how good everyone is here... Report this Post to the Staff
