Ruger9a Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 11:03 am @Bob L, I'm stuck..... I input "ae bust left - vase on reverse" as well as several other versions for the coins below but I'm receiving LOTS of unrelated things. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 12:29 pm @rug, best practice is to limit your threads to a single coin. For those of us without @bobL's near super-hero searching skills, it helps when searching for a specific coin here on CCF. Thx.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 3:26 pm Just home from work. Okay, the first may have an Athena obverse (hard to tell for sure) and basket reverse. You don't mention the size, but perhaps might be Elaea/Elaia, similar to: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4412500 https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gre.../BMC_036.jpg Second has an amphora reverse - tempted to say kantharos, but I think amphora or maybe a krater is more accurate in this case. Left-facing obverse on that one. There are a number of possibilities there. No time right now to devote to it. Maybe I'll poke around later, but not sure if it will be fruitful.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 3:30 pm Update: I think I can make out the "EΛA" of EΛAITΩN to the left of the basket on your first one, which bodes well for Elaea. Edited by Kamnaskires 05/27/2021 3:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
