[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2420116, member: 56859"]The Akragas looks believable to me. Their bronzes must've circulated a long time because so many of them are extremely worn. The reverse of the second coin is probably a thunderbolt or winged thunderbolt. The obverse looks fairly feminine (but Apollos and Dionysos often look like women to me). Common combination, but I bet you'll find that it is from Sicily. Try searching [URL='http://www.cngcoins.com/Coins_sold.aspx']CNG's archives[/URL] with the search terms "AE, winged thunderbolt". You'll get hundreds of results but scrolling through them is quick. When you see likely matches, note what it is and try revising your search, plus then use the information to check other databases and resources. Also, it is better to show the larger picture in your post rather than inserting thumbnails which have to be clicked, and it is better for you to do the work of editing your photos to join them into one obverse/reverse image. Anything you can do to make it easier for CoinTalk members to help you will increase the odds of your getting help :).[/QUOTE]
