Spence Moderator United States 34507 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 5:18 pm @hoxie, sorry about that. You can either look at the old link as @keith just mentioned, or else I think that I have fixed it now. The keyword to search on is "IBERIAN".

loonielewy Pillar of the Community Canada 1792 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 7:18 pm Had to copy and paste that one. Not like a 1950 dime or anything easy like that. We may tease you Spence, but good round. Lots of learning. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa" In memory of those members who left us too soon...

Spence Moderator United States 34507 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 7:54 pm @loonielewy--nice detective work! Here is my As from Obulco--not an exact match to numista, but still pretty close. Thanks to all for a great round! I know that these are a little tough on you US coin collectors, but hopefully you don't mind having your horizons expanded a little bit.

joecoin Pillar of the Community United States 789 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 8:34 pm From numiswiki, forum ancient coins: "Obulco, a Roman municipium of Hispania Baetica (Andalusia), now called Porcuna, a town of some note between Cordova and Gienna. Its coins which are autonomous, bear for their types generally a female head, sometimes a horseman, at others a bull, and the word OBVLCO, with the names of Roman duumvirs, and Celtiberian inscriptions."

I'll try to get you guys, but, I doubt it. Work tomorrow, but lots of time after. I'll find something good, then leave you hangin'.

James Hicks Valued Member 179 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 10:15 pm Ok. That was a fun round. I was sorta lost early in. I chose not not guess later in, because it would not be right if you guys asked all the questions, and I swooped in and stole the prize at the very end. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34507 Posts	Posted 10/10/2019 04:04 am Game on! Was this coin made before 1900? Quote: it would not be right if you guys asked all the questions, and I swooped in and stole the prize at the very end. Isn't that @joecoin's primary strategy?
