dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 3:29 pm I see no reason to doubt the coin. It is believable, naturally worn with good surfaces and of good style. This design was made for many years in the 5th century BC. The only weak part of the coin is that the legend is worn making it hard to see whether the R is has the leg or is like the Greek rho (P). Rather few Greek coins show the R looking like an English R but I suspect this one once did. I hope you will enjoy it. Report this Post to the Staff
