[QUOTE="greekandromancoins, post: 2970644, member: 87990"]Hi [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] Great set. Pleased to meet another collector interested in these coins! I am collecting these and aiming for a complete set. I have a large number of them now, and still working through attributing the groups I bought recently: many sellers do not bother to attribute these and sometimes mistake coins of Philip III or Lysimachos for these types! Left / Left are typically harder to find (as there are fewer left / left variants, see e.g. SNG ANS) but it is a misconception that they are the rarest. There are plenty of control marks which I have not seen come up for auction in the last year anywhere for non left / left variants. Left / Left with a 'lion's' head (alternatively described as a head of Helios, crab, thunderbolt or unknown symbol, depending on the reference) in my view, is not too hard to find if you are looking for it. It is an interesting coin. Here is one of mine. [B]On your coin, to the left of your horse, what do you see? Is that a symbol which looks like a Λ (lambda)? Or I am seeing something which is not there. Do you have larger photos?[/B] Peter [ATTACH=full]728743[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
