Is this a modern seal someone made? Report this Post to the Staff

Well, it doesn't appear intaglio, so I guess that's a wax (or other soft material) impression from a metal or stone ring seal. I see the finger print of whoever made the impression. I did a search on the terms "tetrastyle temple ring seal" that brought up an image from an article, "A Ring from Gadara," written by Yaakov Meshorer. The article concerns a silver ring, with round seal, and it has Zeus - not an eagle - between the columns. But at least it demonstrates a seal with a similar tetrastyle temple motif. And a coin with similar: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3340101 Edited by Kamnaskires 08/13/2019 11:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The number on the back is likely an inventory number of some sort. Compare below. Not to imply that yours is an impression of a scarab, only the similarity of format for the modern impressions.

You just bid on pages of coins and you can't pull anything. So this is one of the many things I'll have forever I suppose as you notice it was just sitting there in the page of other coins you want.
