<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoIke, post: 4377033, member: 112092&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to bother you all. As you can see, I&#039;m new to this forum and know almost next to nothing regarding ancient coins, etc. What brings me here is a small bronze piece I purchased not too long ago. Originally, I had no idea what it was, but my gut feeling told me it had to me something (if that makes any sense?). After <b>MANY</b> hours of searching on the web, I was able to locate a similar example housed within a museum collection (please see link below).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Link:</b> <a href="http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/6824/unknown-maker-medallion-with-bust-of-helios-greco-roman-1st-century-bc-1st-century-ad/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/6824/unknown-maker-medallion-with-bust-of-helios-greco-roman-1st-century-bc-1st-century-ad/" rel="nofollow">http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/6824/unknown-maker-medallion-with-bust-of-helios-greco-roman-1st-century-bc-1st-century-ad/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now my question(s)... After <b>MANY</b> more hours of searching, I haven&#039;t been able to locate another example of this piece except for what&#039;s in the museum above, why is that? Is it because it&#039;s very rare, valuable, fake etc. etc.. ??? Can someone please help me locate another example and/or give more info on what I exactly have other than the info found within that museum? I&#039;d much appreciate it. Thank you all in advance for your time and help. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1104095[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1104096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1104097[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1104098[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
