micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 04/25/2020 10:38 am You are a moving library Bob L, amazing!! I think #7 is Moushmov 5458, the horse is at the right place and the face in the correct shape, need to have a closer look at the coin to see if I can read any letter. It's partly crystallized, guess from fire and I don't dare any cleaning without microscope and I don't have one. The #8 is good shape and looking pretty rare as well Thank you once again!

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 2:55 pm Bob L, I need your lights and knowledge is there any chance for the coin #5 to come from Achilleion in Troas? The reverse looks pretty similar. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 3:05 pm That does seem likely based on the "civic monogram" reverse. The obverse is struck too off-center to be useful for identifying. That coins appears to have bronze disease. Best to keep it isolated. It is a time for social distancing, after all.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/02/2020 6:42 pm The obverse countermark, by the way, is likely from the Bosporus Kingdom. Report this Post to the Staff
