[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3053101, member: 85693"]Just got two new cheap Greeks from eBay and I had a question/comment about them, wondering if I could get some help, opinions, etc. The one on the left is from Cilicia, Korykos, and the only example (exact) that I could find was a red_spork sale here on Coin Talk - his and mine look very, very similar (die match?). [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ancient-greek-coin-tyche-hermes-bronze-from-korykos-in-cilicia-circa-1st-century-bc.303030/[/url]: My attribution came from this sale (thank you, red_spork!). I couldn't find any other matches for the ΔΙ behind the bust: [B]Cilicia, Korykos Æ21 (c. 1st Century B.C.)[/B] Turreted head of Tyche right; ΔΙ behind / Hermes standing left wearing petasos and winged boots holding phiale & caduceus, ΚΩΡΥΚΙΩΤΩΝ right, EPI ER left. SNG Levante 791; cf. SNG France 1075; cf. SNG von Aulock 5679. (6.91 grams / 21 mm) The other one is a Macedonia/Thessalonica AE that is fairly common, but I cannot find my example (with the palm branch control mark below the horse). [B]Thessalonica, Macedonia Æ19 (c. 187 - 31 B.C.)[/B] Helmeted head of Athena right / ATE ΘΕΣΣΑ ΛΟ ΝΙΚΗΣ free horse galloping right, palm branch (control symbol) below. ?????????? (6.37 grams / 19 mm) Any help, other examples, etc. much appreciated. [ATTACH=full]764366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]764367[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
