I went for a reshoot - The original photo was the dealers; and still an excellent photo. I think my new picture better represents the actual color of the metal under normal day light. Also added a few more pixels for your viewing pleasure.

Like the color much better.

 

that's a nice looking coin IAT.

has that one been "scoop" weight adjusted on the amphora?

 

Isn't that one of those "scoopes" on the amphora that Doug talks about? It really is a very nice looking coin.

 

Looks like it. I'll have to read Stannard's material or maybe find some other Thebes staters with weight adjustment. Pretty interesting.

 

Another one.

The Magistrate's name or abbreviated name was FAST. ha

 

That's a sweet new example, iamtiberius (congrats)

Man, this is another old thread ... I'd better append my Boeotian shields, eh?
