Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 12/22/2022 8:11 pm Yet another unattributed snag out of a shop's bin of unsorted material. I believe it to be an issue of Amphipolis but I can't further pin it down. I take it to be a trident that's on the reverse. I'm not quite sure who's being depicted on the obverse. Pretty small at just 14.5 mm in diameter, with the weight coming in at just a tiny bit over 4 grams. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 12/22/2022 8:56 pm I'd agree with your observations: Amphipolis, and trident. There is one similar coin on Wildwinds (scroll down to Moushmov 5988): http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree...polis/t.html Gives the ID of the obverse as Apollo. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 12/28/2022 09:18 am I'd remark that my specimen is certainly far better preserved than the second of those referenced to above by Bob L. In fact, I'm surprised one in such poor condition would be put up for auction, unless the rarity of the type is greater than I was supposing. Would mine be a candidate for professional conservation?
