[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3053806, member: 91461"]I just dug out a grip of coins I had yet to, or more accurately been unable to, identify from days passed. It's funny what a difference setting aside coins for a while can make. It's like looking at them with a different set of eyes. Currently, I'm coming down off the high of finally getting a beat on one that had eluded me for over a year (it is a Gordianus iii from Moesia with a Tyche holding rudder and cornucopia reverse, fyi). So I thought I'd give myself an easy one. I bought this in a Roman republic lot. When I 1st got it I figured it was a mistake and must be a Greek with a helmeted Athena on the obverse... Now that I'm looking at it again, I'm thinking this IS an early RR coin with Minerva or Roma helmeted. And I don't know who on the reverse. The "I don't know who" being the rub. On AC search all RR Helmeted Minerva or Roma have a galley or animal reverse. Wild winds anonymous RR was more of the same. No luck. So I'm back to square 1. She's bronze, thick and about 23 MM. Any ideas? [ATTACH=full]764660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]764661[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
