Nothing here. Nice coin though.

 

Like 'M', I also like the coin---but have nothing quite like it to post...

 

I think JA posted one of these a couple of months ago and I stated then that one day I will get one of these. But not yet.

Nice one Oki.

 

Nice one, Oki. A drachm with a similar design recently joined my collection.

Thank you for adding you very nice drachm
i am still strugeling with magistrates name ....

 

Beautiful example zumbly!!!

 

wow. envy is the word. some day 10 years from now i will get a nice ancient bee coin like this.

 

I'm not sure I'm seeing a "K" there, Oki, but your guess is as good as mine.
There is a very extensive list of issues of Ephesos sorted by magistrates names in the link below. Maybe you'll find yours there:

Edit: I don't see a "Kyandros" there, but I think the attribution from yours is copied from this CNG one, and it does look like "Kyandros" there:

Also, I would go with "SNG Cop 265-6 var" myself, since 263-4 are for issues more than twice the weight (>4g).

 

what grade is your coin ? looks very expensive.

 

Thank you zumbly

Yah, I just saw that and added it to my edit!

 

The auction house went with "Very Fine", but honestly I don't pay much attention to grades these days.

Great stuff, I still want one eventually.

Terrific swarm, Steve!!!

 

Mine is of average quality - a dealer threw it into a larger lot for ten bucks. It appears to be a smaller denomination at 1g, 8mm.
