<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7812586, member: 80952&quot;]Hello ladies and gentlemen,</p><p>I posted my Rhodes hemidrachm on the &quot;Follow the coin game&quot; topic and I realized&nbsp; my attribution might be wrong. </p><p>I bought it from an auction house that makes a lot of mistakes when attributing coins (I already spotted too many) and I think this is another case. </p><p>Coin in question:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342438[/ATTACH]</p><p>Attributed by the house as:</p><p>CARIA. Rhodes AR Hemidrachm, ca 404-390 BC</p><p>Head of Helios facing slightly right.</p><p>Rev: P - O - Rose</p><p>Ashton 13-24; SNG Copenhagen 725; SNG Keckman 367; HGC 6, 1426.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I checked the attribution, the first thing I noticed was that I see no P-O on reverse. The coin is worn so it could be simply a case of losing details but I doubt it. I found the same attribution in an auction from the past and I think it&#039;s clear this is not a similar coin. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342439[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What I found after checking (and I thought I was correct until today when I studied the coin again) was</p><p>ISLANDS off CARIA, Rhodos. Rhodes. Circa 340-316 BC. AR Hemidrachm. Head of Helios facing slightly right / Rose with bud to right; club to left; all within incuse square. Ashton 102; HGC 6, –; SNG Keckman 429.&nbsp; </p><p>Similar to this as I thought the worn symbol in the left of the reverse is a club and the symbol on the left is a rose bud </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1342443[/ATTACH]</p><p>But checking again,&nbsp; I think this is also wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas about a proper attribution, please?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
