One more Baltimore coin for today, then I'll desist, or I won't have anything to post the rest of the week. This is a common Seleucid type that we're all familiar with, so I'll dispense with the lecturing. I've been looking for the right coin of this type for three years now. I've found plenty with nice busts, but the reverses are stubbornly, incorrigibly, doggedly, intractably, adamantly, and relentlessly struck off center. And on the rare occasion that I've found a complete reverse, there was something unacceptably wrong with the obverse. So here it finally is, Antiochos VII, Eros, Headdress of Isis, both sides equally centered and struck, with a COMPLETE reverse: the full headdress, the full inscriptions, date, and monogram. You don't see this everyday. If had to file one small complaint, it would be that Eros' wing is only partially visible, but maybe he should walk for a change - sometimes it's better to take love slowly.
Very cool score, once again ... looks like you had yourself a sweet ride at the Baltimore show, eh? Curious, my coin-friend => what are the dimensions of that slick willie?
now that's a nice one of the type JA, that was worth waiting for the right one. i have a not so nice one, i wasn't activly pursing this coin it was a bargain bin snag a few years back, it does have the EOP date (138-137 BC),
