ID Help

As JA knows, I've been wanting a "bee" coin from Ephesos (he offered to give me one, but I declined so that he could give it to a new young collector). I haven't found one in good condition within my budget, but this coin will serve as a place holder untill I find the one I really want.

However, in researching the coin I've had some trouble with the identification. Mostly because the coin is so off center, but also because it's not in the best of conditions. I have it tentatively identified, but I would like someone to verify what I have. I'm not so certain of it. Any assistance will be appreciated.



Tentatively:
EPHESOS, IONIA
AE11
OBVERSE: E-F, bee
REVERSE: Forepart of stag recumbent right, head left
Sturck at Ephesos, ca 387-289 BC
11mm, 1.63 g
SNGCop 244

Oh, and please post those "bee" coins that I've been so jealous of.

These are not the ones you are jealous of but they are Ephesos AE. Neither matches yours exactly.

AE12 but with full length deer


AE14 with grazing deer and countermark (bird?)

 

Hey Doug, wanna trade?

 

Sure but not for your bee coin. I suspect the Fonteius is not on the table.

 

Well, I was referring to my bee coin, but the Fonteius could be on the table for the right coin(s) (not sure what that might be).

 

Nice bunch of 'bees' guys. I just missed out on one...again!

 

I have a couple of (uncleaned) bees.


Ionia Ephesus Bee / Stag Bronze 1.83 gm 11 mm



AND Ionia Ephesus Artemis / Bee Bronze 0.9 gm 10 mm

 

i think you got it bing, look at this one..
