allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 01/31/2015 6:12 pm Weight: 3.01 grams I think Roman, appears to be bronze. Looks like a temple on the back. There is just enough legend left to annoy me that I can't read it. Geta? Edited by allranger 01/31/2015 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/31/2015 6:39 pm At first look the legend looks Greek, so maybe a provincial coin. Perhaps twisting and turning under different light you might be able to make out the legend. Report this Post to the Staff
allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 9:28 pm I am pretty sure the legend is in Greek. So if it is a provincial coin does that help me at all? Where do I go with that information? Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 10:48 pm Trawl the databases, acsearch, vcoins, asiaminorcoins, coinproject, forvmancientcoins. Don't limit your search to Geta. Instead I would search for the temple. Edit: The more I look at this coin, the more I like it. Edited by pishpash 02/01/2015 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 02/01/2015 11:00 pm My suspicion is that it might be from Corinth and have the C.L.I.COR on the reverse. The "I" at 11 o'clock and the COR on the right side. Report this Post to the Staff
