I wonder if anyone can identify a coin for me. It is round with a mans head in the middle with should lenght hair and facing to the left. A round his head there is a circle band then there is what i think is greek writing round it in a circle, then outside of that there is a circle around it. On the back there are some writing in a full circle and the middle is empty. I will try to send a photo to see if this will help anyone to id it.   01-15-2009, 02:30 PM   #2 (permalink) FreakyGarrettC Wise young snail     Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: im in ur fridge eatin ur foodz Posts: 2,976 My Mood: Yes photos are needed. __________________ New coin forum!

I have no idea if it was based on an actual coin or not.
