<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8240249, member: 134416&quot;]I&#039;ve always wanted a Heraclius Seleucia.&nbsp; There was a more detailed one recently on vcoins, but by the time I enquired whether the stuff in the fields was verdigris or bronze disease, that one sold. This was the only one left of the type I wanted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a placeholder until I can find a nicer one, but the unusually large 35 mm. flan does add charm.</p><p><br /></p><p>And wow, was that Marc Breitsprecher order fast! I ordered it Tuesday or Wednesday, and it&#039;s here Friday.&nbsp; I thought it surely must be my coin order from London.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450317[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Attribution:</b> Sear Byzantine 844 Seleucia Isauriae mint</p><p><b>Date:</b> Dated year 7 - AD 616/7</p><p><b>Obverse:</b> Facing crowned busts of Heraclius, on left, and Heraclius Constantine, smaller, on right</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> Large M, Christogram above, ANNO to left, ςΙ (date) to right, A (officina) below, SEL ISA in exergue</p><p><b>Size:</b> 35.30mm</p><p><b>Weight:</b> 14.52 grams</p><p><b>Description:</b> nearing VF.
