Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/07/2012 8:57 pm I've seen this coin, but for the life of me I can't remember where. I think it is provincial, and I'm still checking my sources. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/07/2012 9:02 pm I don't think this is a match, but it's close. It's an Augustus AE17 from Thessalonica, RPC 1559: Edited by Bing 04/07/2012 9:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 04/07/2012 10:22 pm I think the Thessalonica hint just helped a lot! The portrait has a bun at the back of the head. You can kinda see it in my pic; better in hand. So whatta ya think guys: http://wildwinds.com/coins/greece/m...v_6616.1.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
