<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 2830074, member: 75641"]Thanks for your help folks, especially [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]. I did then go to acs and check out the coins they had to get a better feel for this coin. When I start working in a new area, one of the most frustrating parts of learning the area is not knowing what I am even looking for. So with this coin for example, I have to figure out the Greek legend, which is problematic sometimes when half of the legend is missing. Then also the legend starts at 12 o'clock instead of to the left like most coins at around 7pm. Which when you are looking at a type of coin for the first time and it is in Greek and you aren't sure of whether you are looking at an Emperor or magistrate or town name it is confusing at best. On the reverse, there sometimes is a Nike on the left top of the back of the chair. So when there are several choices and it is not clear on the internet references what the differences are it leaves the new collector sort of lost. So the help here makes it a lot easier. Thanks everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
