And another Sicilian bronze, I made a mistake.

Syracuse, AE, Time of Timoleon. HGC 2. 1440.

When coin arrived I realized the obverse is heavily tooled, I realized why the coin was at a very reasonable price. 😭The coin has been passed on to another collector.

I had the  coin for some time to help train the eye in spotting tooling, now I’m able I hope to spot tooling. Of course I never read the auction description carefully it had mentioned the tooling.

Mine came to me in 1991 as BMC 2.313 but I have not seen the HGC book.  The Favorito book on Syracuse AE also lumped the two together as #31 showing more specimens of the eagle than the barleycorn.   g20580bb0510.jpg.2791dae7fcdce5a29a4a4b88a03bec42.jpg
