Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 7:32 pm I have been trying to fill my more common coins and expanding to some more common Greek/Egypt coins. These just arrived in the mail from NRC and I really like them The bottom two are easy to attribute and fairly common but the Greek and the Ptolmey I am having some trouble with. I don't expect much from the Ptolmey since it looks like the obverse has been smushed The Greek I think is: Mysia-Pergamon, AE20, 2nd-1st Century BC (No legend) Head of Athena right in crested Corinthian helmet AQHNAE \| NIKHFOROU Trophy However I am not 100% sure and would love some help with it. Also I bought it as an "uncleaned greek" and was wondering if you all think I should clean up the reversea bit. I like the Obverse as is but it is a bit hard to read the reverse.

Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 05/14/2013 8:48 pm All nice coins. The legend on the Pergamon reads AΘHNAΣ NIKHΦOΡOΥ. Θ is TH and Φ is PH The only translation I could find was 'Athena, bearer of Victory (Nike)' found here. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/bo...71920.0;wap2 Same legend, different coin.
