FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 12:46 pm I was thinking of sending it out for "authentication". Unlike the other AE17 I purchased ..... Which clearly reads BP****NIKOC This one is open to some "interpretation" since there is no name clearly visible. Rather than have it "entombed" perhaps taking an informal poll might work just as well. Perhaps better The real problem I am having is finding coins for comparison ! So is it ? yes Or isn't it ! no Britannicus AE17 Aeolis Aegae Obv BΡITANNIKOC KAICAΡ Bare head Britannicus right Rv AIΓAEΩN EΠI XAΛE-OY Zeus standing left holding eagle and sceptre 17-8mm 4.42 grams RPC I 2431 Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 1:23 pm It does appear there might be a "P" at 10:00, and a "B" at 2:00, the normal break between the P and B of KAICAP and BPETANNIKOC... Or am I imagining this? Edited by Kamnaskires 02/23/2018 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 2:23 pm I tried searching to see if I could find anything similar that it could be. Not very good at those types of searches But I came up empty. I see things but sometimes I see what I want to see I prefer letting people decide for themselves But I may send it out to the "experts" We shall see ........ I Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 12:46 am I get nightmares whenever I hear the wife rev up that infernal machine she calls a vacuum cleaner ! A real menace she is ....... For the first time in my life I am leaning toward having a coin slabbed ! For safety's sake ! Perhaps both coins I assume if I send them together the schnook that does the attributions will get the hint Hate to spend 50 clams to have some grad student doing piece work for CNG send it back as "Unidentified Greek AE" ! Just have to hold my breath I suppose Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 02/25/2018 12:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
