HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 10:01 pm I'm fairly useless when it comes to ancients. I'm getting this week's sales ready to go, and I'd like to try and move this particular coin. I don't know much about it however, it looks pretty nice in hand. Any identification particulars you guys could help me with would be greatly appreciated. I was also wondering on an approximate retail value for such a coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:06 am I don't have a scale that is accurate for grams, it only reads in increments of 1 gram. It weighs 11 grams on that scale, however accurate that may be. That does look like my coin, any idea on what those two letters are between the wrestlers? Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:09 am Fantastic coin and very desirable if confirmed authentic (looks fine to me but don't know these coins). Search Pamphylia on ebay to get an idea of value The Pythian Games were one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, a forerunner of the modern Olympic Games, your coin shows two naked wrestlers and a slinger. Like it a lot. Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/31/2013 10:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe I could pay off some of those darn medical bills :P I'm still stuck on the letters though, the one on the right doesn't look like any letter to me. Report this Post to the Staff

HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:20 am I was referring to the two letters between the wrestlers. I believe it might be "AS" Report this Post to the Staff

Its a triskelion - consisting of three interlocked spirals, or three bent human legs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion Between your wrestlers it looks like 'AI' Perhaps the same as this example: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...id=419&lot=9 Report this Post to the Staff
