Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 5:47 pm I picked this up in a tray of coins, but am very unfamiliar with ancients. I usually have luck with image searches, but I can't find this particular coin and I can't make out the legend. It has a different texture (for lack of a better word) than other ancients I've seen. It weighs 2.8 grams and is 18mm diameter. Any help would be appreciated. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 7:34 pm @BigSilver Perhaps I wasn't clear, but yes, absolutely. That is why I asked about authenticating in the topic, and what I was intimating with the coin having a different texture. I really don't have experience with ancients, but I picked it up for $5, so I figured, why not? Edited by Jadey 03/04/2019 7:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
