From the Kenneth S. Abramowitz Collection.
Newell, Dated 27 is listed as Price 3270, but that is an erroneous entry based off of Newell’s assumption that the date on the coins he inspected was year 27 (he noted that the date on all of the coins was off the flan). Since Newell’s die study, however, several staters using his obverse die K have appeared, including the BM coin that Price illustrates for his no. 3257, clearly showing the date to be year 23. As such, Newell, Dated 27 actually corresponds to Price 3257, which previously had no reference to Newell’s die study.
