<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3691687, member: 75525&quot;]I enjoy watching on line auctions. I watched a couple this weekend and plan another early next week. I wanted a cast sextans that is a bit ruff, and not common. It went unsold. Unfortunately I logged into my computer a few minutes after 9 and the coin was lot 4. I snoozed a bit too long.</p><p>[ATTACH]989378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]989380[/ATTACH] </p><p>Central Italy, uncertain. AE Cast Sextans, c. 280-260 BC.

The coin is a fairly common Greek bronze, and is not in my collecting area. I have a friend who is collecting coins with rays and this one has some interesting ones in the countermark. I found lots of examples of the coin in acsearch. Two of them had similar countermarks!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]989383[/ATTACH] </p><p>Cilicia, Tarsos 164-27 BC.

Post anything you have about this coin. Are there any other countermarks on this coin series?</p><p>This is my first purchase from Themis. I like the scale they use on their coin pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
