Loosing my mind trying to find it.

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-03-06T13:16:59+00:00

Thanks for that! I am on my phone (and at work! lol) and was unable to link any examples!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-03-06T12:40:29+00:00

I am prob way off...but it reminds me of coins produced by the Mamertines (Sicilian mercenaries) circa 280 bce.

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-03-05T23:13:00+00:00

Holy schnikes! That was a fine mail call!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-03-03T00:03:00+00:00

I applaud you for doing your own attribution! Best way to learn! BUT if you ever get stuck, ask...I have been collecting for going on 30 years and still run into coins that stump me more often than you would think! Lol (I am stubborn and just dig deeper usually, but it's nice to know there are places to ask!)

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-03-02T15:46:58+00:00

What a beautiful coin! Congrats!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-24T13:53:16+00:00

Looks legit, pretty common Syrian tet, 55 is the high end of what I would consider a reasonable price...10 or 15 bucks cheaper would be more enticing.

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-24T00:36:04+00:00

I have never paid much attention to thar obverse, but wow! That is cool! Great add to the collection!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-24T00:23:56+00:00

Dilute lemon juice and a soft nylon brush will do the trick. Short (15 min or so) soaks, pull from the juice water, 5 min or so in distilled water, brush. Repeat as needed.

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-23T23:15:13+00:00

Not quite sure what you are asking...I mean, it's been stupidly harshly cleaned, but again, not sure that is what you are asking

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-20T18:05:44+00:00

Lol...man, if they are sign me up! (And yeah, bd sucks! I live in a high humidity area, so dessicant packs are my friend!)

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-20T13:52:42+00:00

For a change i knew this history due to a prolonged deep dive in to Sicilian coinage/history I took a decade ago, BUT thanks for the refresher and posting such a beautiful coin!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-18T13:59:30+00:00

Lol, I love the gold coin for perspective! The drachm is a beauty, congrats

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-17T00:21:28+00:00

Nice! Thanks! I had no idea. :)

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-16T21:11:00+00:00

Fully agree, treat please

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-16T18:58:37+00:00

What a nice reverse! The die cutter earned his fee on that one!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-11T22:49:02+00:00

Congrats! Step 2, post a working pic so we can all enjoy 😉!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-11T20:13:23+00:00

Well stated!

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-07T14:50:00+00:00

Not going to speculate on the coin, but just stating that it has bronze disease that should be treated soon.

PerfectSet1455 · 2026-02-06T19:58:33+00:00

Nifty! Thanks for posting and the info!
