Issue XXX, Obv 63, Rev 153 looks like a decent match for your dies. It would take a bit more squinting at dies to be sure. I can also narrow the dates on my OP coin to 83-82 BC, ΠTOΛ Γ Obv O82 and reverse R198 appear to be the die matches for the OP coin. Examples of ΠTOΛ coins for E, C, Z, and H are cataloged and illustrated in plates. Although I have only had it for a day, I am already pleased to add to my shelf next to Noe and Metcalf.[/QUOTE]
