[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 1865328, member: 57495"]No, it's not what you think. I bought this low grade trichalkon of Thessaly, Pharsalos and just received it in the mail. My concern with it is that the crack, visible on both sides, which appears to be rather shallow or filled in. The crack does sort of run past the edge to the other side as well, but again, shallowly. So, my question is... does my crack look right? [ATTACH=full]314117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]314118[/ATTACH] [B]THESSALY, Pharsalos[/B] Circa 4th - 3rd century BC AE Trichalkon (7.1g, 23x20mm) BCD 672.4 O: Helmeted head of Athena facing slightly right, wearing plain necklace with central medallion. R: FA to l., upwards, P in field r., SA below r., armoured Thessalian horseman in short chiton and wearing Boeotian helmet above which crescent with its horns upwards, brandishing bifurcate flail and riding right on prancing horse decorated with a beaded necklace, Corinthian helmet below.[/QUOTE]
