Ave! Greek Black Sea Colony of Panticapaeum Struck ca. 250-200 B.C. Ae circa 12mm/1.75, various sizes and weights Obv/ Head of beardless satyr r., wearing ivy wreath. Rev/ ΠANTI; Caps of Dioscurio (Castor and Pollix) topped with stars. Con: EF for the type; 95% have a glossy original dark green patina and are ready to flip. Ref: MacDonald 146 Seller's Note: Nearly all of these coins have been 'over-struck' in one way or another; IE, on Apollo/Bow in case with ΠAN; Bearless satyr r./Bow and Arrow ΦA; etc., etc. The list goes on and on. Many have been re-struck at other nearby colonies, such as Theodosia, which is very cool for serious collectors. Himself, David MacDonald, has already purchased 10 of these 'over-struck' issues for his personal collection from NRC. Priced to sell fast, we're now offering these exquisite issues for only $12.95 each. If you're interested in purchasing these coins in 'bulk' lots, let us know and we'll quote you a lower price. Remember, half the fun of collecting these coins is just figuering out exactly what they are! |
