[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4849902, member: 85693"]I really like that eagle, Orielensis. The fact it is a bit on the lower-grade side just shows it works hard - and countermarks often got a workout. This is just the kind of coin I like in my collection. Here is an eagle countermark I've never been able to attribute - it does not appear to be a Ptolemaic type, however [ATTACH=full]1171138[/ATTACH] [B]Unknown Æ 25[/B] Æ host (as size?); too worn to identify. [B]Countermark: [/B]Eagle, wings spread (dotted border?) in 12 mm circle. (9.98 grams / 25 mm)[/QUOTE]
