Can buy this coin, the seller doesn't give much other info then this picture and a remark that its not a light coin. Cant find another one, and doubt its genuine. Please help.
I have doubts as well.....the style just seems wrong to me....and possibly even the combination of devices. I notice it seems to have a device combination of a Republican denarius---Plautius: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term= medusa victory&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&curre Hopefully some of the more adept will chime in.
Ummm, unless the seller has better info and gives you a good "feeling" about the transaction, then I'd do a roadrunner and get outta there with your precious cash!!
Hey, Andres ... I hope that your coin ends-up being a total winner (cheers) Ummm, but is this Pamphylia enough for ya? Man, I love that Pamphylia coin-type!! => again, I hope that your cool OP-example ends-up being a total winner!!
An example of a genuine coin recently appeared on a thread here https://www.cointalk.com/threads/first-ancient.291876/ Your seller's obverse does not depict Medusa, but helmeted Athena, similar to the reverse of this tetradrachm: https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=191429
The deeply impressed reverse is not typical for coins of this city and I don't remember seeing that exact obverse design on any Greek coin, similar yes, that exact style no. It is an interesting and nice looking piece though. I would buy it for $25 knowing it was most likely a fake.
Thanks for all your input, since nobody could find a match including me, I consider it a fantasy coin. The price is indeed $25 Theodosius including a second funny coin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ great Pamphylia coins , stevex ! looks like counterstamping was standard practice. Got one with a nice counterstamp too:
Indeed there are many nice countermarks from this region. To me, the good part is how many of them were placed with a little care so they did not destroy the coin.
