Hey guys, posting these two photos of my friends coins...these are as clear as I can get with the description on the coin. 

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi B.L.....

Well.....I collect ancients, but I do Roman Imperial.  I know nothing about the Greek coins, unfortunately.  I'm hoping someone else can jump in here, but I'll say this.....those coins are pretty worn, so it' may be difficult to discern much.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help B.L.  Good luck!

Dang, Bob, cool on you for finding that!  And stupid on me for not thinking of Wildwinds!  I use it all the time for Faustina the Younger coins :facepalm:.  As I said to Jonathan a little while ago, this dissertation is destroying my brain :/.

Heh. You're committing dissertion. 2, 4, 6, 8, now it's time to dissertate! For some reason I enjoy mutilating that word. Must be an editor thing.

I love it!  That word needs to be mutilated as the damn thing is clearly mutilating my brain!  You're doing me a service by doing so, my friend.

I am just going by the information posted above. If the OP's coin is the same as the one that I posted, I can't tell it. It is way too worn and damaged for me to see any details.
