<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1804107, member: 19463&quot;]Another new find directed at a similar Steve coin is my AE30 from Sinope that shares the type with coins of Amisos.&nbsp; I have an Amisos that I wanted to upgrade but, instead, found a Sinope with a lot going for it.&nbsp; In particular it has a large enough flan to show the whole reverse scene reasonably well even though the style is a bit crude.&nbsp; Medusa&#039;s body shows weakly on the ground but the gushing blood and severed head are present.&nbsp; Jason&#039;s face is weak but is at least on flan.&nbsp; The Athena head obverse is better.&nbsp; Still I believe the Amisos versions are often nicer style but tend to have more crowded flans.&nbsp; For comparison, I&#039;ll tack on my old Amisos below the new Sinope.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sinope AE30 85-65 BC</p><p>[ATTACH=full]293627[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]293630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
