@Paddy54 : I couldn't believe it when I saw that coin.
When I went to a small coin show earlier this year I happened to see this one in an unmarked flip in a dealer's pick bin: 1853-O No Arrows Half...
By the way, the upper countermark is actually a bucranium
Not sure how large your coin is but it looks very similar to this 20mm type from Termessos Pisidia [ATTACH]
You helped me once before (about 3 years ago) with an 1850-O small O half dime variety. I very much appreciate your time.
I'm now very much into ancient coins but every now and then I go through my old half dime collection that was put together 30+ years ago. This...
I agree completely. It's just if you are a beginning collector you would have no idea to use pegasos instead of pegasus in your searches. In...
It's interesting that if you go to the CNG auction site to research sold coins and type in "pegasus palm" it will not bring up this coin. However...
I am not going to judge the coin but here's some close ups of areas of the coin. 1. Coin edge at lower right of obverse: [ATTACH] 2. Reverse...
I bought this coin a while ago just because it depicted the 12th and final labor of Herakles. I'm not sure we've ever had a thread with coins...

This is a later Roman monogram that I picked up many years ago. It has no visible obverse design at all yet it still is quite an appealing coin...
Sasanian AR Drachm with the altar/attendants reverse. The portrait of the king will lead you to the proper identification.
It's tough to see on a one dimensional photo but moving it around in hand you can easily make out "om (definitely and clearly not DN) Tib CNO...
I did consider this but the Maurice Tiberius coins always have TIbER MAVRC (or similar) in the legend and mine has Tib CONSTANT which is clearly...
I was going through some coins I threw in a "to be identified" folder I put away many years ago and came across this one: Follis of Tiberius II...
Just got in this interesting Faustina AR Denarius. I don't know why but the simplistic reverse makes for a very appealing coin. Faustina I AR...
When it comes to coins of the Roman Empire, along with Greek kings and cities, there is certainly a large and varied selection of issues shown on...
I think I see some doubling on the T in AETERNAE so I'm going to guess VF40 DDR T/T
