<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 1888819, member: 44132&quot;]I was able to procure this coin shipped for $8.50 mainly, imo, because the sellers images were so poor.&nbsp; The first images are the sellers, while the second are mine.&nbsp; I think you can see why the coin did not garner much attention:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]321643[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, this image didn&#039;t look like much, but I was intrigued by the reverse. When I couldn&#039;t find anything like it on wildwinds, I decided to bid a low bid.&nbsp; I wanted to get it in hand to see if I could further identify the coin.&nbsp; The seller only said it was from &quot;Amisoy&quot; which also peaked my interest since I figured it was Amisos and most probably Pontos Amisos.&nbsp; I was correct.&nbsp; The coin arrived in yesterday evening&#039;s mail and in short order I was able to attribute the coin minus the symbol in the lower right field.&nbsp; I would be grateful if someone has insight into this symbol.&nbsp; It kinda looks like &quot;Pi&quot;, but I am most probably wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here are my images and the attribution I was able to discern:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]321646[/ATTACH] </p><p>AMISOS, PONTOS Æ17&nbsp; </p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; Head of Dionysos with ivy-wreath right&nbsp; </p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; AM-ISOS, Thyrsos&nbsp; </p><p>Struck at Amisos 85-65 BC&nbsp; </p><p>4.0g, 17mm&nbsp; </p><p>SNG BM 1192-1195</p><p><br /></p><p>Any corrections or additions would be most welcomed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
