<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1515667, member: 19463&quot;]Note that last one appears to be a close match including the year&nbsp; 126.&nbsp; The reverse exergue has ET (year) followed by the Greek numeral for the year.&nbsp; They tended to say 6 and 20 and 100 rather than 126 which is good since the 100 (P) is easier to guess than the other two.&nbsp; Note also that that coin was a lovely example an fell way short of their estimate of $125.&nbsp; These civic coins have fewer followers than the ones with portraits of name rulers and altars are hard to get excited about compared to coins with gods and animals.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tyche (or city goddesses) is usually easy to identify by the turreted crown which is not worn by rulers.&nbsp; Compared to the lower coin in the top link (equally a match) it even has the obverse legend on flan (probably why they estimated it so high).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Are you showing us the best of the lot or just the ones that are impossible to ID?&nbsp; There may be enough variety in this lot that it is educational.&nbsp; Congratulations to Biancasdad for getting this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
