In this coin's case, the coin was struck off center in such a way that the legion number is off the coin. Too bad.
It would be best if you can somehow tell which legion. What makes these coins worth anything is the legion ID. Here are my legions III and IIII...
Funny. I just perchased one of these from Warren Esty. Maybe not as nice as yours, but still it is a fine example. I haven't received it yet,...
Looks like Leg III or IIII. If it's a Leg IIII, it's scarce. Can you clean it up any?
Anytime buddy. Just give me a call. I still have a coin you purchased a couple of months ago.

I have a similar example, but I can't be certain they are from the same ruler. Mine is a prutah under ANTIOCHUS VII, Seleukid Kingdom, and I paid...

I prefer non-slabbed ancients, but I suggest you leave this one slabbed. I have no idea what you paid, but I suspect it is worth more than most...
