One of the Coins of that Lot I Got

Come to find out one of the Alexander tetradrachms attributed to Mesembria under Mithridates VI shares an interesting obverse pellet with @4to2centBC 's gem from the Triton Auction.

The reverse scratches are not as prominent and nearly invisible in hand.


and 4to2's gem... possibly a die match?

Another beauty Anoob. How many coins were in this lot?

 

WoW these are beauties

 

36

 

The more I look at it, the more I believe that is an obverse die match. First one I have come across, and I have looked everywhere.

It might be self serving, but I have to say that is a beautiful portrait. Especially for a Mesembrian.

 

I agree --- Both are Absolutely gorgeous!!! And it looks like a probable die match to me as well A-noob

 

I agree with obverse die match. It's a beauty!

 

Oh what the heck. I'll agree as well.

 

The position of the dot to the hair, plus the hair design, and the shape of the knot under the neck all say different to me

 

another lovely coin AN..dang.

 

Very sweet, Noob ... I'm absolutely lovin' the lion-skin headdress

Oh, and wow => the dude's pot-belly is outstanding!!

Bravo



Hey => next year's Secret Santa present? (ummm, you don't need two, right?)

 

I dont need two of these either...

Although I could make an argument the one in my collection is from Antioch but the one from the lot is from Sidon. Do I really need two? Which one do I keep?

 

exactly!!

=> now you're merely hogging coins from the rest of us!! (how fricken selfish!!)

 

If I have to choose, I'd keep the one from Sidon. I like the portrait style better.
