Hi everyone Im gald someone found out what coins I had in the last post. Great job :thumbsup: but I do have one more for you all. I collect ancient coins as a hobby of mine and demolition derby. I deal mostly in Greek and Roman and I buy in lots of uncleaned coins on Ebay then sell the ones I don't need. Well I got this one in one of those lots and I think its Celtic type but which one and the value.

Although horses are popular on Iron Age (Celtic) coins & don't think this is one. I have never seen one cut to that shape. Also the technology they used made the coin into a dish shape. ie slightly concave.

It does however look ancient, maybe Greek??

What clues have you got? What were the other coins it came with?

mostly Roman Prov. and few Greek 50 all together and I did get one/or maybe two now Celtic Iberian (around the time of Augustus) Castulo Bull huge coin about size of a US quarter 23-24MM. This one here I have no clue on maybe a Semis type not concaved just flat but unusual. I did some more research and it looks like a Celtic Iberian type but I could be wrong. What do you all think.

Okay, I posted this for you on a coin forum and this is what they said, "It´s a sextan, minted in Castulo, South of Spain" Hope that helps.
