<p>[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 4564343, member: 41219"]At our first ever coin show looking for ancients, FFIVN and I picked out a Pontos, Amisos AE21 from a "junk bin" for $5 and boy does it put the "junk" in "junk bin". However, this coin really gave me my love for all things Nike/Victory. I have been wanting an upgrade for awhile but haven't found one that was an upgrade enough for me at a price that I could justify getting a coin that we already had an example of. I've placed bids on a few but never won one until this last week. Well, it arrived in the mail today and I couldn't be happier. A pretty good upgrade for only $9.50 if I do say so myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is our first:</p><p><br /></p><p>Amisos, Pontos,</p><p>AE21</p><p>85-65 BC</p><p>Obverse: Aegis facing </p><p>Reverse: AMI-ΣOY, Nike walking right, holding palm tied with fillet over left shoulder; monograms left and right</p><p><br /></p><p>Badly centered on the obverse.

Here is our first: Amisos, Pontos, AE21 85-65 BC Obverse: Aegis facing Reverse: AMI-ΣOY, Nike walking right, holding palm tied with fillet over left shoulder; monograms left and right Badly centered on the obverse. Scratched. patina flaked off. The reverse is decently centered but pretty worn and hard to see. Some flaking on the patina as well as all the little green spots. [ATTACH=full]1130145[/ATTACH] Here is today's arrival: Amisos, Pontos, AE22 85-65 BC Obverse: Aegis facing Reverse: AMI-ΣOY, Nike walking right, holding palm tied with fillet over left shoulder; monograms left and right [ATTACH=full]1130147[/ATTACH] Let's see some of your upgrades![/QUOTE]
