Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/06/2017 1:20 pm Got some nice Greek coins in the last Vauctions as bycatch for a Celtic coin I was after. Much more challenging than Romans to ID, but I'm making progress. Trying to learn a fair asking price for these, too. Thrace, Istros 4th century BC "Hemiobol" 8mm, 0.6g Twin heads, one inverted Sea-eagle catching dolphin/fish I've always liked these coins- certainly visually striking! Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/06/2017 3:33 pm Nice coin. Way too small for me to even see. These tiny coins can be really expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 11/07/2017 12:25 pm Thanks guys! Lot also contained: 1) Diobol: Great details, but sadly off-center reverse 2) Really strange hemiobol? I think this one might be a contemporary imitation. The legend seems a bit barbarized, and I have never seen one with the reverse engraved so deeply: Report this Post to the Staff
