Beautiful JB. Just beautiful!

 

Sweet coin, JB! Just beautiful.

 

I see your EF and raise you an AU...

I hardly see a difference.

 

Your little Nike pops better on the reverse. They are both beautiful coins.

 

I don't know, but I think it may be a toss up.

 

very nice,
it deserves a better picture

 

It probably deserves a better owner....but a better photo would be good too. But alas, it isn't going to happen.

 

Definitely a toss up for which is the most GORGEOUS!!

Dammit, now I have to try to bid on one, probably unsuccessfully--- considering I just finished 'obligating' a few bids on a few others LOL

 

Wow, JBG => man, that is an amazing Antiochos AR example!! (yummy-yummy-yummy!!)

Sadly, I don't have any AR examples of the Antiochos bros .... ummm, but I do have a few AE slum-dawgs!!

Very cooool coins Steve---Elephants and owls.... and two boars confronting each other.....or is that Cheech and Chong??? I hate these Rorschach tests!!

 

Your coin is awesome JBGood. Both your coin & ANoob's coin look brand-spanky-new. My example looks older than yours.



SELEUKID KINGDOM
Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes)

16.21 grams, 28 - 30 mm.
Obv: Diademed bust facing right
Rev: Athena standing holding nike in right hand, monogram below. Holding shield & spear decorated with gorgon face in left hand. BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ / ANTIOXOY right, EYEPГΕTOY to left of Athena. All within laurel wreath.

Other: Antiochus VII Euergetes, nicknamed Sidetes (from Side) provided respectful treatment of the Jews which earned him long term gratitude and added name Euergetes (“The Benefactor”).Hoover 1067. From private sale 11/2013.

Here is a slabbed Sidetes that I no longer have. It was converted into beer money: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/seleukid-antiochus-vii-tetradrachm-ngc-slab-is-a-conundrum.250118/ There is some good pricing data in the thread (toward the end) that should interest JBGood & ANoob.

 

WOW, and I thought I was the only one to do that LOL

C-89, Both are (or were) terrific coins coin!!!

 

that coin is suuuuuuuuuuper sweet JBG! i thought it was a gold coin when i first saw the pic, it is that color in hand?

whatever the color, the details are just beautiful.

 

Great and useful thread. I never have purchased a slabbed ancient. The general comments are very interesting.
I paid $339.50 for my EF Antiochos VII.

the photo is jacked a bit. the in-hand color is blast white. I am a lazy iPhone photographer. I have read all the proper coin-photo set-ups, particular Doug's, and I just ain't got the poop! I have an SLR something-or-other and I hate it. I will soldier on taking pictures with my telephone.

 

I'm no photographer either, but I do what I can without killing myself in the process.

 

My other Seleukid Kingdom Portrait coins.


Philip I Philadelphos tetradrachm




Antichous VI Dionysus drachm

Demetrios II Nikator

 

Awesome coins JB----Just beautiful!!

Hmmm, I lost a bid on the Antiochos VI drachm type recently---Are we bidding 'enemies'?

 

I often wonder how many of us bid on the same coins.
