[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2516416, member: 78058"]My most recent FAC purchases came in the mail today. I was going to go ahead & use the seller pics, which I already have on one of them. But now I don't have to. A couple of days ago I believe it was Topcat (sorry if I'm mistaken) posted a counter marked Julia Domna. I mentioned that I saw but passed on it. The reason I did was I saw 3 other listings that caught my eye & well I'm on a rather tight budget for the next few months & honestly I'm not used to being on a budget. Recent happenings within the family realm of things has made me re-evaluate my finances for a short time. Anyway these coins screamed out to me. I'm only going to share 1 today then maybe another tomarrow. This one first because it also has a counter mark that intrigued me. The coin itself is rough has some corrosion & is pitted throughout. The obverse isn't that good. But like I said it's 1 of 3 that screamed to me. None of the 3 are in the greatest shape but it does get better from this one. Kassandros from Macedonia with countermark on Reverse AE 19mm 6.32g 306-297 BC Amphipolis Obv.: Head of Herackles in lion skin Right Rev.: Horseman Right (countermark) SNG Muich 1001 RV. [ATTACH=full]535983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535984[/ATTACH] If anyone can identify the counter mark that would be great to know. Post what ever you want to contribute. I like seeing what everybody has.[/QUOTE]
