<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryan McVay, post: 24889391, member: 117904&quot;]OK. So searching for a topic does pay off! Thanks for the posting. I recently acquired a coin that I have been debating on. I can&#039;t tell if this is a Hatra coin or an Augustus imitation. I have a copy of John Walker&#039;s <i>The Coins of Hatra</i> article for 1958 and John Slocum&#039;s <i>Another Look at the Coins of Hatra, </i>1977. I can&#039;t find my coin in either. I&#039;ve looked through acsearch.com (public version) and to date, I can&#039;t find it. Like most of these coins, it&#039;s not in the best of shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been trying to key off of the reverse with mirrored SC and then the design on the perimeter. The reverse doesn&#039;t appear to have an eagle but possibly a wreath. Also, the obv has &quot;dots&quot; around the perimeter that might be the vestiges of an Aramaic script or other lettering. The mirrored SC is what led me to Hatra.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m open to discussion on this coin because I am collecting lunar and sun god coins. So either this is &quot;Shamash&quot; or I&#039;ve got a coin that doesn&#039;t fit the main collection.</p><p>AE24, 6.75g</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks to all!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1598786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1598787[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
