<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 7520429, member: 44316"]In agreement with you, I think it is a regular issue of Antioch. Those of us who spend years paying attention to coins of a particular sort, say, Byzantine coins of Antioch, often find coins for sale that are attributed--to our eyes--incorrectly, but in the dealer's eyes "close enough." The area of ancient coins is so vast that we cannot expect dealers to know it all. We can be happy when we know enough to occasionally acquire a coin we appreciate more than the dealer did (and, if at auction, more than other collectors did). But I'm sure it is not worth their while to track down every detail of a Byzantine bronze. You have something special with a remarkably late date. Congratulations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
