<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3368811, member: 96898&quot;]It seems well possible that Doug&#039;s picture and question have drastically increased the demand for this interesting overstrike. [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER], did we maybe bid on the same coin (ebay, Feb. 15, ex Roma)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have another question myself. When looking for more info on this coin, I saw that different reference works attribute it to a Punic mint either in Sicily or Sardinia. Does anyone know which of the two is considered more likely and why?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]893531[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Carthage, AE 18, ca. 300–264 BC, Sicilian or Sardinian mint.
