[QUOTE="frankjg, post: 3364506, member: 17567"]Hi all and happy Friday, I wanted to share a nice little Bee and Stag from Ephesus that I picked up from an awesome seller on eBay (Frascatius). It looks really nice in hand, much better than my photos would belie. The coin was listed as SNG Cop. 247, however, online search of that is a totally different coin (I don't trust the online sources). I am running into an issue reading the magistrate legend on the reverse. Any thoughts from a different set of eyes would be awesome. The first image posted is a better view of the legend through my USB scope. I think I make out "?ALHTO" [ATTACH=full]892323[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]892320[/ATTACH] Ephesus, Ionia 13.9mm, 1.91g OBV: Bee with straight wings REV: Kneeling stag, Astragalos above, ?(Magistrate) Feel free to post coins from Ephesus, or bees, or stags.[/QUOTE]
