Hello ladies and gentlemen, Please help with this one. 4.58 g 16.62 mm The only clue I have is a note from a previous owner, stating SYRACUSE BULL. I think I distinguish the bull walking right and the club above but no legends - and all the examples I found are with bull walking LEFT. Any ideas, please?
Your coin looks a bit like this - SYRAKUS. AE-19 mm. 317-289. Zeit des Agathokles. Persephonekopf mit Ährenkranz l. Rs: Stier stößt l. Beizeichen Keule. SNG COP. -. SNG ANS 591f. Braune Patina. vz-ss acsearch.info - Auction research
Looks like you've posted at least 5 ID requests in the forum today. FYI this is generally frowned upon, because it asks us to donate our time while pushing informative posts off the front page. I know you mean well, and wouldn't want anyone to get annoyed with you... thus this comment! I think a good rule of thumb is not to post more than 2 or 3 ID requests per week. (And even that's pushing it if you do it many weeks in a row.)
I posted 5 coins, so 'at least 5' sounds a little malicious. Usually I don't request IDs because I like to ID them myself but in these cases I was stuck for hours. Apologies for any inconvenience but I don't think I requested easy coins or I was impolite.
No malicious intent, I just didn't check on p. 2. And you certainly weren't impolite, plus you've earned your place in the forum, for sure. Just wanted you to be aware of the standard etiquette. Probably I should have PM'd you instead, my bad!
