<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moe &quot;Wolfy&quot; Wilder, post: 4888599, member: 114824&quot;]This is my first CT post ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Otho, RPC I/1340 (<a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1340" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1340" rel="nofollow">https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/1/1340</a>) from Locris,@ $8 in a lot of uncleaned Greek. One of only two specimens known. The other is in the museum in Munich. The museum piece was first reported to have been found in 1866 and its authenticity is currently in doubt since no other has been found (until now). Due to this controversial nature, combined with multiple brockage-like impressions on reverse and both sides being HEAVILY countermarked (I count no less than a dozen on each side), the &quot;expert&quot; (with the holier than thou attitude) at the RPC website rejected my attribution, while the Munich Museum simply ignored my emails. This coin will likely go up for auction eventually, but I feel the need to professionally verify the attribution and prove the museum piece&#039;s authenticity first.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1179701[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1179706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1179705[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
