Mysia, Pergamon..133- 127..BC. Obv. helmeted head of Athena right.. Rev. Owl standing facing, wings spread, on palm frond. [AQ]H-NA..above, NIKHFOR[OU] below..might be Greek letters in there so don't bust my chops, sellers letters.. A to left and A to the right. 16mm x 2.6g. Brown patina..
Thanks my ancient friends.. Jw hows the wife, i know she went in today, hope she is better, keeping you and family in my prayers..
I was eying that coin for a while - I'm glad it went to a good home. That seller's pics aren't great - post one of your own when you get a chance.
Thanks big John, not sure i can do any better, still learning my camera, also the seller gave me a better price..
I'm in the surgery waiting room as I type. She has been a real trooper about this whole thing, but it broke my heart this morning when she broke down crying just as they were taking her into surgery. I won't know much till later. Thanks for asking and offer up an extra prayer for her if you don't mind.
that's a great coin bing...i'm pretty sure that's one i was thinking about also. the little owl is awesome and i like the dark and bronze color. hope all goes well bing!
