pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 4:57 pm I started a new thread after (Pretty red patina) because I am struggling to ID this coin. It is not who I thought it was under the crud, it looks to be Hermes. After loads of searching, only one coin seems to crop up, varieties of this one: http://www.magnagraecia.nl/coins/Ar...KatC_18.html Everybodys Nike is advancing left but mine is advancing right. PLEASE any suggestions, this is driving me loopy. 22mm 6.96g Edited by pishpash 06/24/2014 5:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

This could be a variation of the coin you referenced. I locked your first thread so we don't have two threads on the same coin. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 6:14 pm Thanks for that echizento. I am trying not to clean it too much, I will have another go at it tomorrow. I couldn't find any other variations on this one. Obviously I am not looking in the right place! Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 10:32 pm Pish, Given the 22mm size and what looks like a "wolf's scalp" on the obverse, I think these, from Amisos, are quite possibly a match: http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/apo...Default.aspx - Bob Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 11:12 pm Not sure what's going on with the Asiaminorcoins link. Trying again, two coins (bust of Amazon in wolf's scalp) from Amisos: http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media http://www.asiaminorcoins.com/galle...isplay_media Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 05:06 am Bob, that is why I couldn't find a match under Hermes! Thank you for the links, I can find loads more now I am searching for the right thing. There were other coins from Pontos in the lot. The letters on the reverse of my coin (AMISOS) are there, unfortunately I will lose a lot of the red patina if I try to uncover it, so I think I will leave it as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
