<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 2958299, member: 91461&quot;]So happy to come home from the hospital (my wife and I just had 2 baby boys!) and find in the mail my 1st coin of 2018! After being burned by eBay with fakes I listened to my CT friends and tried an auction, it was from Heritage (kinda pricey so I could only get 1), but am very happy with the result<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It is listed as being from 463-411 BC, (though wild winds dates it from 500-465 BC, so I&#039;m not sure which to believe<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and it&#039;s 2 dolphins (how befitting with this being my 1st coin since my twins were born?!) jumping over circles or what many imagination tells me are stars in the night sky.</p><p>Does anyone have any idea about the date on this one? And what the circles actually signify?</p><p>Please post any thracian, dolphin or any other coins you find relevant!</p><p><b>THRACIAN ISLANDS. Thasos. Ca. 463-411 BC.
