jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 10:52 pm Hi all, I need help with these couple of coins, any help would be very welcome with these mystery coins. This one looks on the face to be an Athenian Tet but I'm leaning towards it being a counterfeit. Maybe a barbarous copy? Alexandria, Ptolemaic? The reverse is a mystery to me. .

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 11:18 pm My mistake I should has said 3 and 4. #4 is a provinical I'll see what I can come up with. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 11:50 pm I think #3 might be Elgabalus but I'm not 100%. Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 09:22 am Here's the diameters/weights for all of them. I should have put them up with the first post but it was late and I had been writing an a mind numbing legal brief so my brain was jello. #1 12mm, 1.92g #2 11mm, 1.85g #3 16mm, 2.28g #4 18mm, 4.46g #5 15mm, 1.72g Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 12:20 pm Haven't had any luck with #4 yet. The bust reminded me of Nero a bit but I'm sure that isn't right. I'll keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 02:26 am Perhaps #1 is a fractional silver coin from Athens--diobol or hemidrachm? I think I see an owl, but I'm unsure what they look like. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 03:14 am These coins are proving to be a challenge, I still haven't been able to pin point the two provincials to any degree of certainty. Report this Post to the Staff
