JWJ New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 9:55 pm I think that's it. Good point on the size... Coin 1: 1.50 g and ~16 mm diameter Coin 2: 3.50 g and ~15 mm diameter Report this Post to the Staff
JWJ New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 10:54 pm For coin 2, I'm thinking this. It simply amazes me how quickly you're able to point to the ID's for these things. From wildwinds: Macedonia Anonymous AE half unit. 229-220 BC. Gorgoneion head facing in the centre of a shield surrounded by five double crescents with five dots between them / B-A across fields, Macedonian helmet with cheek pieces. Rose in lower left field.

Yes, BobL's brain is wired differently from most of the rest of the human race when it comes to solving numismatic puzzles. Report this Post to the Staff
