<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 26278722, member: 134416&quot;]I really like collecting both series.&nbsp; Seleucia and Isaura are slightly scarce mints (although I&#039;m sure officinae gamma through epsilon are probably quite rare).&nbsp; The coins of the early part of the Antioch crusader state are really affordable, although Tancred portraits are the only ones I&#039;m really into.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is Tancred the only Crusader to have a portrait on a coin?&nbsp; I seem to hazily recall there being some rare 12th century Cyprus portraits of another, but maybe I misremember.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seleucia and Isaura were staging stops, on Heraclius&#039; epic march to defeat Persia.&nbsp; I wonder why these seem to have fallen out of circulation faster than S 805 did?&nbsp; It&#039;s rather unusual to see them under VF.&nbsp; My VG Seleucia example (not shown) seems to have been an outlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have any of Seleucia or Isaura?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
