Here’s my latest (just arrived today) for Forum Purchase o’ the Day: a wonderful diobol from Mytilene, Lesbos. In hand the coin is simply gorgeous.

As RIC III lists Antonine coins, you must mean RIC II part 3 #1365.
(Maybe these will be renumbered in future to match with RPC?)

I figured that I’d post this little gem from Forum in the purchase o’ the day thread.

Picked up this wonderful coin from Joe in late March. This has nothing to do with my collecting focus but that doesn’t matter. My attraction to this coin can be summed up in two words: badass crab! I’m glad that I am able to continue to support Joe and Forum.

Greetings Everyone,

Although this is not a Forum Purchase o’ Today this wonderful little gem purchased a while ago from Joe should qualify as a Forum Purchase o’ the Day.

A lovely silver tritartemorion (Attic standard) from Lampsakos, Mysia (c. 500 to 470 BC) weighing in at 0.775g with a 9.7mm size and die axis of 0o. On the obverse we have janiform female heads, each wearing stephanos and with a central earring between them. All within a border of dots. On the reverse is the head of Athena facing left, wearing a  Corinthian helmet. There is an olive spray in the upper left field. All within an incuse square. Baldwin Lampsakos, Group A, Pl. V, 17. Per Joe’s research: “zero sales of this type recorded on Coin Archives in the last two decades; very rare variety”.

Tracy
