<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2877716, member: 44316&quot;]The wonderful members on this list have helped. Thank you! The OP coin is from Adramytium (sometimes spelled with two t&#039;s, and sometimes ending &quot;ion&quot; or &quot;eion&quot;) in Mysia (NW Asian Turkey) and not Lampsakos in Mysia as I had thought.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Those are all good ideas. The first link is to my OP type and their coin is 0.87 grams (mine is 1.10 grams) so [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] found it. The second link is to the OP type and 0.93 grams and has the same ear of grain below. Thanks [USER=46490]@doucet[/USER] . The first auction reference is actually to a much larger coin with the same design in SNG France 5 &quot;Mysie&quot; #1 (the very first coin in a book with 2560 coins!) which has the type but weighs 4.16 grams and is 15 mm instead of 10 mm-- clearly a larger denomination. So, they did not find a good reference either. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second auction type references the same larger coin (but notes it is larger, which the first did not) and Klein 247 (which I have) which is the right design <b>with the right size</b> (10 mm and 1.03 grams). If my coin had been better there would be AΔPA above the horse helping to pin down the city. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just looked in Lindgren&#039;s works and they have nothing even remotely like it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have more references to look through. That is one thing to like about Greek AE--it takes (enjoyable) time to look stuff up. It is not just &quot;RIC xyz&quot; and you&#039;re done.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you all appreciate how great this forum is and become supporters![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
