[QUOTE="AdamsCollection, post: 3911217, member: 104174"]Hey everyone! I just purchased these two coins, as unidentified greeks. They peaked my interest pretty fast, they are super tiny about 10mm and 1-1.5grams (don't have specific measurements yet) Also apologies for the blurry images, its the best I can do. They came in a pack of four, a Thrace Corinthian helmet and meta wheel, and a 'female and cup' as well, now these two seemed like the odd ones out. The first one I believe to be from Abdera, Thrace [ATTACH=full]1030871[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1030872[/ATTACH] I Have this one pegged down to, as stated above: Abdera, Thrace ca 425-352 BC Obv:Griffin sitting left raising foreleg Rev: Quartered square with four pellets I can't find much online about this coin, wild winds only had a coin that looked -similar- but not exact. Either way I feel this is a particularly scarce coin. Now the next coin, took much longer to figure out, this one I believe to be VERY scarce. [ATTACH=full]1030874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1030873[/ATTACH] This I have pegged to: Kephallenia, Island off Ellis, Civic Issue 430-370 BC Obv: Head of Hermes left wearing petsasos. Rev: Letters of ethnic to left and right of large caduceus Ref:Plant 2303; Weber Coll 4102 This is a good example of the coin as it was listed on v coins.
