<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1804294, member: 19463&quot;]Showing the danger of posting coins based on a seller ID, I discover that my Sikyon is the 430-390 BC version (Sear 2763) issued for the financing of the war against Athens.&nbsp; Sparta, chief opponent in the Peloponnesian war, did not issue coins but Sikyon provided minting facilities.&nbsp; The Chimera is the anti-owl.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coins with the wreath above the Chimera and SI below are later (Sear 2771) so I assume that Steve&#039;s and AJ&#039;s coins are intermediate with SE and wreath.&nbsp; &nbsp; My previous experience with owls allows me to look at various styles and relate them to the historical timeline.&nbsp; This is new to me for coins of the other side.&nbsp;&nbsp; Looking at coins posted online (acsearch, etc.) I see more attention to the goat and snake details on earlier coins.&nbsp; I have not discovered the reason for the change from SE to SI yet.&nbsp; Anyone?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
