[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3130161, member: 41219"]Good Evening All, Some of you may have seen my post yesterday about 3 coins I was gifted by a generous forum member. I managed to ID a Chinese cash coin with the help of my limited Chinese knowledge and a few google searches. I decided to work on my next coin last night and this afternoon after work. I knew it was old but wasn't sure where it came from. I could make out a few Greek characters but not knowing Greek, that didn't help lol. I started off googling coins with sphinx and then after looking at a few pictures with some names attached, I searched wildwinds. I have been able to narrow it down to Perga, Pamphylia. However, that is about where I can get to with confidence. There are several Sphinx seated right, with Artemis standing left. Here is mine: [ATTACH=full]798291[/ATTACH] Here are the ones I am comparing it to: [url]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sg/sg5417.html[/url] [url]http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/pamphylia/perga/SNGCop_311.jpg[/url] Can you tell me if I am on track or completely wrong? What am I missing that will help me further ID it? Thanks for your help![/QUOTE]
