<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2474160, member: 72790&quot;]First I have no photo as the coin is not mine as I did not buy it. At a local flea market I discovered a merchant selling, among other items, about 25 or so ancients. All were low grade Republican or early Imperial silver, late wretched bronzes and several misattributed and all way over priced. There was one coin I could not place, a fairly high grade, glossy black bronze about the size of a US quarter. It had a male helmeted bust facing right with a very clear and large LEON but in Greek letters (lamda, epsilon, omega, nu) below the bust. The reverse reminded me of a Macedonian tetra with figure seated on a throne, the inscription in Greek, somewhat difficult to make out, but one word I could determine was ROME (rho, omicron, mu eta). I have never seen anything like this, especially Rome spelled out in Greek letters. Any idea on what this might be? A fantasy coin, obvious fake, slick counterfeit or something genuine ancient. Thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
