[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8091277, member: 118780"]Yes. That's the one I'm familiar with. [URL='https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/111732']Yale [/URL]also has the same. I suspect with these coins I'll just need to keep a close eye on things. Chances are someone will misattribute it. This is interesting, though it's extremely difficult to make out the details of the small picture. Would you have the reference for Weiser? I wonder if his work is online. I also wonder what led him to this attribution, since these coins are rarely found in hoards. For now, I'll put Alexander V on the back burner. Within the last week, I've purchased (though they're still on the way) the following tough ones: [LIST] [*]Ptolemy Epigonos. There actually are two coins attributable 100% to him, but I wound up buying CPE 436 (as opposed to CPE 336 and 337), which overlaps six years when he ruled in Telmessos, because I found no examples of the others coming up for sale. [*]Kleopatra of Macedon. She did rule for 6 years in Epirus after her husband died. There are no coins attributable to that exact period, but there are some from 360-325 BCE, and she ruled from 331 BCE. [*]Alexander II. He was Philip II's brother and his bronzes are tough. [*]Philip IV. Already discussed. [*]Skostokos. This is the WildWinds reference (bronze) coin. The auction didn't notice that. [/LIST] I think if I look at another horse/rider coin right now I'm going to puke... :)[/QUOTE]
