Micoin Posted July 10 · Member Share Posted July 10 Hi everyone, I have not posted in here for before and hope someone could help me. I have quite a few old greek coins from crusty batch which I have yet to identify. After searching through everything Selucid on Wildwinds and other coin sites its driving me a bit crazy as I can't find any similar bronze with similar marks (lots of silver but no bronze). I think I have identified the following but would welcome a second opinion if there are any Selucid collectors out there? Weight 4.26g Width - 17mm My guess is : Seleukos I Nikator Obv. head of Heracles right, wearing lion skin headdress, Rev. Zeus seated left on backless throne, right leg drawn Would love some help if anyone knows anything about this type of coin? Thanks anyone who cares to comment, its greatly appreciated Mick 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivernumismatic Posted July 10 · Member Share Posted July 10 It seems to just be a cast of a drachm, maybe a Celtic forgery but I’m not certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeandAcre Posted July 10 · Member Share Posted July 10 Good luck, @Micoin. Have to think you're right about there being someone here who'll know exactly what they're looking at. Meanwhile, the most intelligent thing I can say is, Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deinomenid Posted July 10 · Supporter Share Posted July 10 @Micoin, @LONGINUS is a collector of Seleucid bronzes. Maybe ask him? See for example this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
