Kevin Carter New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/07/2017 12:44 am I obtained a set of coins from a professional archaeologist who recovered the coins from central Israel several years ago. While I have identified some of the coins, I will be very grateful for any help I can get in identifying this coin pictured here. It measures approximately 15mm in diameter.

The mint mark is obviously off the flan. The scepter intersects the shield at the top 1/3, the shield is slightly leaning left and is midsized, the prow is hooked and not angled, and victories hand holding the scepter is at the hip. This is just a guess because there is no mint mark. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...IC_188.1.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
PatAR Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 1:45 pm Also similar to Alexandria RIC VII 64 http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/..._RIC_064.jpg As someone relatively new to ancients myself, I do wonder how the experts decide which of several possibilities to assign as a coin's ID when certain features are off flan. Does the style override precise placement of design details or vice versa, etc.? Report this Post to the Staff
