[QUOTE="JBGood, post: 2384624, member: 38987"]I was doing a little inventory checking. I frequently find errors that I made in recording the coins I purchase as well as attribution errors that came with the coin. This AR Nomos from Campania made my suspected attribution error list since I couldn't find Artemis behind the portrait on the obverse until I used my mag/light... and there was the little guy after all! I never tire of finding added features that missed my initial inspection. I think sometimes I spend too much time "acquiring coins" and not enough time "learning about coins". Please post any coins that has small features that might be missed with a casual inspection or any coin that had a device that you "discovered" after the purchase. Or anything at all. [ATTACH=full]489160[/ATTACH] Campania, Neapolis AR Nomos 300-275 BC 18mm, 7.03 gms Head of nymph right; behind Artemis holding 2 torches Man-headed bull walking right; above Nike flying right placing wreath on bull's head; monogram below.
