<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2420353, member: 19463"]I can't see anything on the second reverse but would comment that the Agragas bronzes of the period are often worse than yours. The one ancientnut linked looks a lot better than most in terms of wear but is so off center/small flan that we lost the crayfish which is clear on your coin. There are several series and denominations of these differing on minor critters, dot count and placement but mint state ones of any are not easily found. Looking at acsearch, the highest grade ones tend to be missing something more important (to me) than detail lost to wear. I'd call your coin a keeper. Mine grades only fine by reasonable standards but, like yours, has all the critters. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]501384[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Your second obverse show some detail despite the photography but the reverse was lost. Can you try again?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
