<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 2435011, member: 37707&quot;]You seem to have the coin attributions down; were you just looking for a reference? I would recommend going to websites such as Wildwinds, NGCcoin, CNGcoins, coinarchives; then use their keyword search. I simply searched the words &quot;corinth dolphin.&quot; The following coins resemble yours. </p><p>Question 1: Your photos are a little out of focus, do you notice any monogram directly behind Athena&#039;s neck, or under the cranium part of the helmet? Most of the following coins seem to show a faint &quot;M&quot; or &quot;Σ.&quot; </p><p>Question 2: Similar to question 1. Do you see a faint &quot;O&quot; with a line attached just to the right of Pegasus&#039; rear legs? </p><p><br /></p><p><b><img src="http://cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/98000536.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </b></p><p><b>CORINTHIA, Corinth. </b>Circa 400-375 BC.

It&#039;s unfortunate that someone holed it x2 to probably attach it to a piece of clothing or make a necklace out it. Would be more interesting if it were holed in antiquity compared to contemporary damage. It&#039;s a nice conversation piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>-Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
