OK, after all my hand wringing over buying stuff on e-bay, I bought a cheap bee! The seller photos are crappy, but I'll take a chance...

OK.....Sorry I don't know much about this coin type but where's the bee??

 

Thanks, wanted an obol, but this popped up cheap, after I get it I'll post pictures and ask for people's opinion as to authenticity.

 

Hopefully it looks better in-hand


...can you see it in seller's other pic?

 

I am a contemporary Beekeeper, also.

Yep comparing it to examples on vcoins I can see it now thanks..

 

Those are poor seller's pix. I suspect it will look better. The deer is fine.

 

Thanks...now the anticipation begins...
