Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 7:31 pm As mentioned in a previous thread, I purchased this coin from bjimperials on ebay. The patina is very intriguing and the cost was extremely low. I have since attributed the coin as an Iberian Semis struck at Castulo Spain in the late 1st century BC, Burgos 897: OBV: Young male head right, Phoenician letter before (not visible on this coin) REV: Bull right, crescent above, two Phoenicial letters below 1.8g, 15mm Report this Post to the Staff

I love this kind of patina (not really patina I know). Here is the cleaned version of a similar coin (not mine): Edited by Bing 07/26/2012 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
