<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2339912, member: 44140"]Ah the keepers. Those great coins that have everything your looking wrapped up in one coin. That certain look, that feel in hand, that feeling you get when it speaks to you, this coin had all this and much more. I love everything about it. The large planchet, interesting looking bust of a historical figure and a wonderful high detailed reverse. Yet the coin possess just enough flaw where authenticity is without question. Perfect for me. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.houseofptolemy.org/graphics/300bce.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Credit to <a href="http://www.houseofptolemy.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.houseofptolemy.org" rel="nofollow">www.houseofptolemy.org</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Seleucid Kingdom</p><p>Antiochus I Soter (r.
