CNG's archives has a match and it sold for a whopping 30x estimate :wideyed: Looks like yours may have the same obverse die....
I hope you win it, but my experience has been that Kuenker's estimates are very low and the bidding very aggressive. Better plan for 2-3x (or...
I misread the title and was searching the coin in vain for a small dog :D [IMG] (Pomeranian :oops:)

I'm just now sitting down for for a more serious overview of the book, admiring its organization and detail. Praise for Potamikon is definitely...
Congratulations, @Valentinian. I'm glad you got the coin. This is an interesting thread with some thought-provoking comments. Only slightly...
