[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 6525954, member: 104741"]Lovely coin. I'm going to play the long odds on this one and say it's mine.:) Admittedly, a small chance of success, but imagine the pay-off if I'm right! Another Magna Graecia:[ATTACH=full]1260833[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1260834[/ATTACH] Gela, 450-440. 16,86 gr. 26 mm. Ok, I'm playing some seriously long odds here, I realize that. But can you blame me? It's a great Syracusan electrum and wouldn't you like to own it as well? Besides, stranger things have been known to happen in the past: the Red Sea parted for Mozes, a forest moved to Elsinore Castle in Macbeth, and some even say men walked on the moon, to name but a few... So, I don't see any reason why this coin can't be mine. And what do I have to lose? I was probably wrong with all my other guesses as well, so why not take a blind leap of faith this time? Hope springs eternal...:) On a more realistic level, though I have to (grudgingly) admit that this is probably [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]'s coin. And a lovely one it is![/QUOTE]
