Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 4:07 pm found this silver obol and I am trying my best to ID. It is 16.53-17.14mm and is 9.3 g. I am guessing Kings of Bactria, Pantaleon ca. 180-175 BC. Am I close? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 4:29 pm Difficult to read the legend, but I believe this is a nickel diadrachm of Agarthokles SB#-7557. Pantaleon also issued one in the same style SB#-7563. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/06/2018 2:16 pm Wish I could find something like this is a junk bin. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 9:02 pm echizento. I collect modern tokens and find these from time to time. In other words not something I collect. Any idea on a ballpark value so I don't get taken when I attempt to get rid of it? Report this Post to the Staff
