pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/28/2014 10:05 pm I have two small coins (size and weight unknown), this is the first. I have tried all sorts of combination of letters in wildwinds partial inscription search with no luck. I just thought it was very attractive. Report this Post to the Staff

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 12:57 pm It looks provincial. Have you tried the Greek letters in wildwinds? Report this Post to the Staff

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 1:41 pm Syrian would make sense with the patina. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 2:17 pm Put a variety of letter combinations into the partial word search on wildwinds, nothing. Been through wildwinds and acsearch for SA, nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 4:52 pm I like TIF's Syrian guess, but i'll go elagabalus or caracalla. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 6:14 pm Checked Wildwind for Elagabalus and Caracalla, no joy. Am assuming that the bottom coin is the emperor radiate. It is possible that the first coin is Tyche. My eyes are too tired, will have a look at acsearch and coinproject tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 6:46 pm Portraits are such a guessing game with Provincials... could be Caracalla, Geta, Elagabalus, Sev Alex, Diadumenian... Even if it is Syrian that's still a lot of territory and searching! Pish has become the ID pro-- I bet she can find it. Report this Post to the Staff
