Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 10/10/2019 8:15 pm Any thoughts from folks about whether this coin has bronze disease? @AT, maybe hold this coin separate from the rest of your collection for a little while.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/11/2019 9:32 pm Pretty sure we're looking at Athena in a crested helmet for the obverse and butting bull reverse. I believe it's a 4th century BC AE from Thourioi, Lucania. If you rotate the OP's bottom pic you can see the top of the bull, with tail over its rump. For comparison, OP's coin and pics of the type below. Report this Post to the Staff

Something stinks Report this Post to the Staff
