Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 03/15/2012 7:29 pm OK, I'm stumped. Forgetting the punk hairdo (mineral deposit I think), can someone here tell me what this coin is. I have tried for two days. I got it along with four other coins to ID, three of which have been easy. The fourth there is no legend remaining, so I think impossible to attribute. But this one has some interesting details. It's a provincial, but that is all I have so far. Any and all help is appreciated. Regards, Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 03/16/2012 4:25 pm Thanks Giano and Randygeki. You both put me on the right track. It is a Trajan Procincial from the Tabae region of Caria. I posted this same question on Forum Ancient Coins and got the following answer: "Trajan is correct, and the city is Tabae, with a Demeter reverse. Here are two other examples, which may well be from the same die pair as your coin, although this isn't the easiest to tell: http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=55424 http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=145940 I'm assuming BMC 75 and SNG.Cop:560 are the attributions, but I haven't been able to locate these yet only in the above acsearch. Thanks to all for all your help. Regards Report this Post to the Staff
