[QUOTE="Topcat7, post: 3071158, member: 73372"]On early Greek (hammered) coins there is a variety of 'incuse punchmarks'. My question is:- Do these 'say' anything or have any meaning when it comes to attributing the coin, or should we be looking at the coin as a single faced object? For example, on this coin should we just look at the 'obverse' to attribute it, or do we have to factor in the 'reverse' as well? [ATTACH=full]771783[/ATTACH] I mean, I can find lots of 'Chickens' on coins from Troas , Dardanos, but I cannot find one with an incuse punchmark that resembles the one on this coin.[/QUOTE]
