<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2706929, member: 42773"]I think the bronze of Mesembria is quite rare. It's the first one I've ever come across in real life, and I've only seen a few recorded at auction. <a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236569" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236569" rel="nofollow">Here's one</a> at CNG and another at <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2370944" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2370944" rel="nofollow">NN</a>. There's nothing wrong with those coins of course, but they just don't have the commanding style of yours, and yours appears to be struck from much fresher dies. It was a surprising find - you never know what's going to turn up when some older collections get sold, which is what happened at Baltimore.
