<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 8285235, member: 84744"]Thanks, [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER]! Another expert here couldn't find a match in Starr, at least on a quick check... and he doubted it was Group II.A because he felt the lips on mine were too thick. (He thought it was probably II.B or II.C though the distinction is rather fraught.) If you're sure it's a die match to II.A 23 that would be awesome!! (Sadly I don't have Starr myself.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like that the chisel mark and countermarks indicate that it circulated in Northern Syria/Cilicia, thus being a relatively early coin ambassador for Athens. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a mass-produced owl from the recent hoard:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1463654[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
