    Looking at this coin to pick up. Not sure of the value but I like the design. To me has a lot of eye appeal. s-l1600.jpg

    Those are neat, big flans and such.

    I got the following from AMCC2 auction in 2019

    [​IMG]
    SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria, Antioch: Herennius Etruscus as Caesar (249-251) AR tetradrachm. 7th officina. 10.52g, 28mm.

    Rev: ΔHMAPX ЄΞ OVCIAC / S C, Eagle standing left on palm branch, holding wreath in beak.
    McAlee 1153g; Prieur 640.

    It has some issues but was cheap enough that I couldn't let it go
