<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2277943, member: 19463"]The coin is listed on Svoronos, Corpus of the Ancient Coins of Athens Plate 47 - 5 through 8 but yours is weak at the bottom making the letters there unclear. By chance, Bing's coin is the same with the same three magistrate names. Mine below has two of the same names but I have Kallikrates where you have Eumenes. That makes mine Plate 47- 2. I agree with the price given for a coin with your obverse and Bing's reverse but I think it a bit high considering the faults on both coins as they are. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]454807[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many of these with different symbols where you have the eagle and magistrate names.
