<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 2874805, member: 83175&quot;]Here are a few that I haven&#039;t posted, a couple that I haven&#039;t identified...</p><p>I know what this is - just posting it &#039;cos i&#039;m just happy with the way the photo&#039; came out!&nbsp;&nbsp; Syracuse tetradrachm - SNG ANS 664.&nbsp;&nbsp; Kore/Persephone has a bad dose of acne.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reverse (Nike constructing a trophy) isn&#039;t great, so here&#039;s just the obverse:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_Syracuse_TetObv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a nice diobol of Arados, which I can&#039;t locate at the moment:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_AradosDiobol.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what this is - it weighs about 0.6g and is small - it looks like a male head left on the obverse and there is something in the incuse square on the reverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; It could even be another head.&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe it&#039;s from somewhere in Asia Minor and I&#039;ve had it for maybe 12 years.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any ideas gratefully received.</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/Unidentified0.6g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is a hemidrachm from Maroneia, but haven&#039;t seen anything exactly like it yet.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s got the forepart of a horse left on the obverse and a sail pattern on the reverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; It weighs 2.0g and is ~11mm in diameter.&nbsp;&nbsp; Again, if anyone has a reference, it&#039;d be great - thx.</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_MaroneiaHemidrach.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a recent acquisition and the photo&#039; lighting is much too harsh and the contrast too high - it&#039;s actually very nice and doesn&#039;t really look golden.</p><p>Crawford 71/1a.</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_VictoriatusRBW300.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not my photo&#039;, so it looks better - the reverse is off-centre and loses the SICIL part of the legend.&nbsp;&nbsp; Crawford 401/1.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_DenariusAquilia2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think this was once in a slab, as it was sold by Heritage in 2014, but had been freed by the time I got it in 2015 - Cr. 344/1b:</p><p><img src="http://www.tantaluscoins.com/images/coins/lg_Tituria1Denarius.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
