That's a nicely-detailed countermark. If you want research on Greek countermarks, you'll have to do it yourself. I don't know of even a catalog of...
Regarding Valentinian's post, Tameanko's Monumental Coins is a very enjoyable read. I recommend it highly.
I think you just posted it!
That's not a common type, and it's in great shape. The crack does nothing whatsoever to detract from it.
Some of the the busts are recorded in RIC with an H underneath, so it's not an irregularity. This coin is RIC VI 214a, p. 183. As to its meaning,...
I like the unique style of the last campgates. I suppose they had to pare down the design - not much room on AE4's. The OP coin is a better...

I didn't even know a COL NIM variant existed. What'll they think of next?
Great coin - I'm sure it'll look much better out of the slab and in your hand. That pic looks more like a graphic than a camera image. Was this an...
Informative and fun thread! Thanks for the pics - glad you had a good show.

Oh. Uh...ok. [Hangs up phone]
Apples and oranges for me. I like a few fourees in my collection, especially if they clearly demonstrate the base metal core, but have enough...
