[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 2485843, member: 15445"][ATTACH=full]525273[/ATTACH] [B]SICILY, Gela AR Tetradrachm 480 - 475 B.C.[/B] 17.18 gms, 25-26 mm [B]Obv:[/B] Charioteer driving walking biga right, Nike flying above, crowning horses. [B]Rev:[/B] Forepart of man-headed bull right. C-E-Λ-AΣ (C mostly off flan) [B]Grade:[/B] Overall Good Very Fine with claim to a higher grade bar an old reverse scratch and obverse radial flow lines possibly due to a deteriorated die. Very little wear is evident- Near EF. [B]Other:[/B] Jenkins 139 similar to the Bode Museum example. Ex David Murray of Tyche Numismatics from AncientNoob August 2016. Yep, I got one. I’ve had this coin on the want list forever. This puppy was offered to Anoob & he traded it to me quickly. (I snatched-it-up the day it arrived so you folks never got to see it). The fabric is nice & reminiscent of my other Tets from ancient Sicily. I’m pretty stoked. [B][COLOR=#ff4d4d]It’s real right?[/COLOR][/B] I’d sure appreciate your comments & please post ‘em if you got ‘em.[/QUOTE]
