[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 3271403, member: 82322"]If you want the thread to stick around you have to end with something to encourage easy replies like "Post anything related to the letter A, or any animal, or an emperor who is now dead". To keep it going here is a rare magistrate from Ambrakia. This coin came in a 2x2 labeled Abdera and it took me more than 10 years to identify it as the product of Ambrakia. [ATTACH=full]862891[/ATTACH] Ambrakia, 238-168 BC (?), AE17 7.73g Obv: Zeus (Dodona?) head right Rev: ΑΝΔΡΟΝΙΚ; Griffin crouching right Ref: Rollin et Feuardent, [I]Catalogue d'une collection de médailles des rois et des villes de l'ancienne Grèce[/I] (1864), #3160 Cf. SNG Copenhagen 35-37 (magistrate), cf. Sear 1968 (magistrate) Very thick. Rare magistrate Andronicus, which I haven't found outside Rollin's 150-year-old catalog. Because of the thickness I am suspect this to be older than 238. ex-Clark's Ancients, list 119, November 2004, lot 302 (James Lovette collection); attributed to Abdera Old ticket saying ex Clark's Ancients, April 1980[/QUOTE]
