Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 12/05/2015 7:00 pm Hello folks, Starting to get into ancients after collecting U.S. coins for the past 10 or so years. I've wanted a Pegasus for a while now and the opportunity to act on that desire finally materialized. I'm a newbie so let me know if I'm making any serious mistakes. Your thoughts? Thanks, Joe2007 Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 12/06/2015 05:40 am These coins come high up my list of favourite types. I did a double take when I first saw yours because the style of the Pegasus is so different from mine; one would assume that the style of it evolved over time (the style of the wings on yours is much more similar to depictions of hippocampus, whereas my wings look more like an eagles) I would presume your example is much older than mine since it is within an incuse square.
