[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2123720, member: 44140"]I suspect that these coins look a lot better in hand. I would welcome either one into my collection. As far as the spot on coin #2 someone could have spit on 2 or 2000 years ago. Here is my coin. This denomination is called a double Victorianus. Approx. 6.3 g x 23 mm the coin features The head of Zeus left. On the reverse the names GOROGANES and SOSIPATROS with the likeness of Athena advancing right with shield and spear. The coin is fine silver minted in the second century BC by the Thessalian League in central Greece. Thessaly was annexed by the Romans after the defeat of Macedon in 196 BC until becoming part of the Province of Macedonia in 146 BC I say the first one is $150 and the second maybe $200. I would be happy with either or both, but maybe its just me. [ATTACH=full]403035[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
