Canefan Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 12:43 pm Picked up a few ancient coins last week and thought I would share. Discription from WildWinds. Corinth. Circa 345-307 BC. AR Stater. Pegasos flying left; koppa below / Helmeted head of Athena left, helmet decorated with olive-wreath; A-P below neck, plough behind.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 2:32 pm Neat - these so often have one side messed up, so nice details on both sides is great. The Koppa stands for 'Korinth', but I'm not sure what the A-P stands for. The various symbols behind Athena must mean something too - but that is lost to time! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 6:19 pm Thanks for posting @cf. is the true color of this coin silver? I'm assuming that your camera set-up and lighting have caused the golden hue.

Canefan Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 01/31/2019 7:25 pm I took pictures with phone at kitchen table. The lights cast a yellowish hue. Here is another picture different lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

Canefan Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 9:57 pm Thanks all for the kind words. Will be posting a few more coins in upcoming days. Been focusing on ancients as of late. A bit intimidating at first, so much to learn. Finally feeling better about buying coins in the raw. Report this Post to the Staff
