This mashup is made from six different coins belonging to various CoinTalk members. Can you name the coins and the owners? Hints will be given later if it is too difficult.
oh my, that's awesome. I recognize AJ's akragas obol since I jus saw it in the "rare" thread. that horse head I also remember, but I don't remember who had the coin.
Yes... which coin? I expected the two guessed thus far to be the first identified. The base coin should also be fairly easy. The remaining three might be challenging.
Sweet compilation-coin => I want that one!! Like the rest of the p-gallery, I spotted my wicked horse and Joe's so-so Akragas Eagle ... fun game (I will try my best to figure-out the rest ... I don't think any more of them are mine?)
Nope, just that one... this time (more are in the works if people enjoy this one) I almost googled "Tradiander". Good one. The identified coins so far: AncientJoe's Akragas obol Stevex6's Thessaly hemidrachm No guesses on the base coin?? The legends are there...
I will abstain from replying but this is a fantastic Photoshop job! A difficult test as well, as many of these coins haven't been posted in quite some time.
The base coin is AJ's Nerva tetradrachm of Antioch. I'm not sure if this is one of those cases of the sum being greater than the parts, but it's certainly a convincing argument for a second career for you as a celator. Let me know when you'll be striking the first run and sign me up for one of them.
I am sad to report that this coin has been repaired and is not in slabable condition. It was sold in the Trident sale of 1899 where it was described as having been holed with an iron nail. We see Photoshop used to remove flaws but adding them is just as much fun. I was wondering what your super tet would look like with a few holes and test cuts???
Test cuts-- good idea . I'll put one on the next coin. Correct. The composite coins correctly identified so far include: AncientJoe's Akragas obol Stevex6's Thessaly hemidrachm AncientJoe's Nerva tetradrachm Two of the remaining three are likely to be difficult. One of the remaining three is from a coin very recently posted and the owner will surely be chagrined when he finally recognizes the element. See if this helps: the remaining three coins belong to @zumbly @dougsmit @AncientJoe again (well, his pictures are fantastic and the devices clear-- it's easy to use his coins for nefarious purposes ) It would be really cruel if I made a composite from late Roman bronzes .
