<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1887751, member: 42773&quot;]Coin 1 is one of the first ancients I collected, and I was thrilled to hold a coin that was over two thousand years old. My wife said, &quot;Well - you could go outside and hold a rock that&#039;s over two million years old.&quot; Thanks honey. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>At the time, I wasn&#039;t aware that the bust-left/horseman-right variety was scarce. Today I collected a companion piece, the common bust-right/horseman-left variety. Of this type class, this is the coin you will find most often. They come in two other combinations: both bust and rider right, and left.</p><p><br /></p><p>So post them if you&#039;ve got them, particularly if you&#039;ve got the less common varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. <b> Kings of Macedon, Philip II (359-336 BC) </b></p><p>AE17, 6.7g, 12h; uncertain Macedonian mint.</p><p>Obv.: Head of Apollo left, wearing tainia.</p><p>Rev.: ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ; youth on horseback right, S below. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. <b> Kings of Macedon, Philip II (359-336 BC) </b></p><p>AE16, 5.7g, 12h; uncertain Macedonian mint.</p><p>Obv.: Head of Apollo right, wearing tainia.</p><p>Rev.: ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ; youth on horseback left, N below. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]321307[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]321308[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
