<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1822255, member: 19463"]Yes but you have the less common hair flowing in the breeze obverse. Yours also has a mintmark on both sides that needs to be investigated. I suspect these were issued by more than one city within the Koinon and that mark might be significant but I do not have a reference on that thought. </p><p><br /></p><p>We might as well also point out that many of these coins have scratches from flan adjustment filing so the OP coin has some allowable scratches on the portrait as well as cleaning abrasions in the fields. It still is not a nice coin but would likely sell to a Bucephalus fan for more than the average per coin cost of the lot. I owned the last coin I posted here for quite a while before I decided to accession it into my collection despite its condition. I probably would not buy the OP coin if I found one similar but I know I would not be able to afford the type in a nice clean fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
