<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26070124, member: 91820&quot;]A couple of years ago or so go I was amazed to receive instant answers after posting coins on this forum for attribution assistance.&nbsp; I could not attribute the coins, which turned out to be Bulgarian medieval, despite months of diligent effort.&nbsp; However, since attribution is part of the fun in this hobby, I have been reluctant to post too many others.&nbsp; However, these are two have defied my attempts and are interesting:</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is 13mm, weighs 1.76 grams, is partially plated and should have adequate inscriptions to identify:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1660138[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second shows a torch and a type of amphora - I thought I had it identified but cannot find the city after I thought I flagged it on Wildwinds - I got a phone call and when I got back the computer decided to go on the blink and I lost it:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1660140[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one should be easily identifiable but looks nothing like anything I have ever seen.&nbsp; The silvering is just bizarre - maybe celtic? Byantine?&nbsp; I thought the inscription was &quot;ROMA&quot; but it is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also there was a reference in the articles on this site to a link to a famous collection which must be out of copyright - the collection had some amazing plates of sestertii of Septimius Severus and family - including only third example I have ever seen of a Di Patrii reverse.&nbsp; But I can&#039;t find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
