<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3224133, member: 19463"]You may all see what you choose to see but the point is that Apollonia used an A and a crayfish on their coins of the larger denominations. If you are going to see something else on the little ones, you need a more clear coin. I am amazed they put the A on the coin and have no certain feeling that there is anything on the critter side but if there is something there, I would doubt it is a repeat of the city initial. Prove that one to me by finding another coin of this denomination and type that is in better shape than mine. I kick myself because I saw another similar coin in a case at Baltimore owned by a dealer whose prices guarantee I will never buy anything (if you have poor coins and high prices, don't expect a lot of people fighting for space at your table). It was displayed reverse up and I did not ask to see the other side since I already had mine and the price was 3x what I paid. I have no idea why it was reverse up or if it had any detail of note on the obverse. I wish I had asked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
