[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 2955915, member: 75641"]Hello All, I bought two coins recently from the Bay and I am having a bit of a hard time with one. [ATTACH=full]722712[/ATTACH] The obverse legend appears to be: AUTO KAI L CEP CEOUHROC and the reverse is obviously sort of incomplete but appears to end in: KAIC A PEON. The seller noted that the coins were from Saitta, Lydia. The one coin is undoubtedly from there but this coin sure throws me for a loop. It appears very similar to BMC 24 from Akrosos, Lydia or possibly Paris 1001 from Philadelphia. I apologize for the pictures, but the coin might be a Fine at best and lends itself about as well to picture taking as it does self-identifying. I am still a rank novice when it comes to Greek coins so any help here is surely appreciated. Happy New Year to everyone![/QUOTE]
