<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3165482, member: 72790&quot;]Thanks for that information. Apparently these coins do represent a gap in Numismatic studies but the site you referenced is pretty darn good. At the Philly show, where the dealer had set out a pile of maybe a hundred of these, he had posted a sign attributing the coins to &quot;Lycia, Fourth Century BC&quot; I knew they were not that but that was all I knew for sure. I am sorry I only picked up one of these. The coins looked as thought they had just come out of the ground. Most had pretty significant accretions of a reddish but smooth substance on the surfaces, especially the reverse sides It almost looked like a kind of rust. Some of the coins actually showed a kind of splitting into flakey layers on the thick rims which again reminded me of a rust. I wonder if there is any ferrous metal in the alloy? I&#039;ll have to check this with a magnet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
