<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1271860, member: 15445&quot;]I got this Greek (Corinth) Stater at the Westchester Coin show this weekend.&nbsp; It has Athena wearing the Corinthian helmet on one side and it has Pegasos on the other side.&nbsp; A dealer at the coin show referred to the Pegasos side as the obverse.&nbsp; I would have thought that the side with Athena would be called the obverse.&nbsp; (Of course, I also thought that Pegasos should be spelled Pegasus).&nbsp; I’m sure that you ancient collectors will straighten me out.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Pegasos side appears to be struck by a worn die.&nbsp; The overall grade of the coin looks like EF but the Pegasos is inordinately weak in appearance.&nbsp; IMO, all the devices are well centered and well struck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I’m told that this coin was lot #25 at a Christies auction in October 1983.&nbsp; Are there typically photographs used to depict coins like this in Christies&#039; Catalogs?&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps someone could suggest how I could get a copy of the catalog page.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that you ancient experts at CT can explain the significance of the dolphin above Athena and also explain what looks like a little Greek letter under Pegasos.&nbsp; The dealer that sold the coin says it is genuine &amp; from 400 BC.&nbsp; If you guys can date it with more accuracy or provide any further information, it would certainly be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
