Wonderful, I like coins with a portrait on both sides

 

There are so many different varieties of these little gaffers. Tough to get MS exs of these.

 

@panzerman The coin is a 1/10 stater. So the weight .83g.
What's the 6.40g refer to?
0.83g. 6.40g. 4h

 

@tibor 6.4mm according to the listing https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=6550&lot=1072

 

I saw the "g". The reason for my question.
Thank you.

 

Tibor/ that was an example of stupidty. I meant 6.40mm. but hit g. (gram) too much in a hurry/

Excellent piece!

 

I was able to buy this rare drachm from Thasos.

Weight : 4,14gr.

Reference : HGC 361.

 

Congratulations! Lovely little coin, great detail.

 

Great coin!
I picked up a Roman weight with a countermark. It is the first weight in my collection so marked.

ROMAN (Attalos). Circa 1st-3rd centuries. Weight of 3 Ounkia (Lead, 43x47 mm, 77.36 g).
Obv - Γ within square incuse; to left, round countermark inscribed 'ATTA/ΛΟΥ ΔIC (?)'.
Rev - BA [...] / [...] IAN/OY. Pondera 14476 ( this weight ).
Minor flan fault on the obverse, otherwise, very fine.
From a European collection, formed before 2005.
pondera.com added a note on the stamp -
AUTHORITY Attalos, agoranomos (West Asian mint)

 

Two different people right??

 

I tend to wonder if these collectors know of these coins before hand. How can you follow coins of about only say 1000 made from all rulers etc.. some over 2000 years old. That’s a lot of thinking. 70’s we’re a blur
