<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1961840, member: 19463&quot;]This one is beyond me.&nbsp; It does seem odd, however that the OP listing reads like something copied from a catalog listing but I can not find something similar searching on any of the terms.&nbsp; I see nothing that would make me look in Pantikapaion but would allow the possibility that the coin was something else overstruck on such a coin.&nbsp; Where did you get the &quot;several pages of information on it&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Understand a problem with ancients:&nbsp; Rarity and value have much less a link than you might think.&nbsp; There are thousands of coins that are extremely rare or even unique but there is no demand for them unless they also carry some interest to the market.&nbsp; What I see here is not rarity but a poor condition bronze that can not be matched to the references I have available.&nbsp; That means I am not in the market for the coin.&nbsp; I suspect, there are those who would buy it for the challenge of the ID but to get any price for the coin you will have to provide confirmable details that ID the types involved.&nbsp; The letters suggest a flipover doublestrike of the bow or bowcase types as a possibility but there is something above that that could be Ares helmet.&nbsp; The coin is a mess.&nbsp; To be more, it needs a map pointing out how it got there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
