<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4556516, member: 98035&quot;]This past weekend I had a little bit of time to sit down and image some of my Greek collection, which is probably 75% comprised of coins I bought unidentified in a group lot and either decided I didn&#039;t want to sell, or else figured I wouldn&#039;t get a good price. I remember seeing this one, thinking &quot;Cool, a drachm with a tripod.&quot; and I set it aside since my last Seleucid drachm hammered for $15.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realized I might have something when I went through all 12 Seleucid Antiochuses on Wildwinds and didn&#039;t find any with a tripod. Finally found a match on vcoins</p><p><br /></p><p>Seleucid Empire</p><p>Antiochus VIII Gryphos</p><p>121-97 BC</p><p>AR Drachm</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Diademed head right</p><p>Rev: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY / EΠIΦANOYΣ, tripod, monograms (IX / N) left[ATTACH=full]1128078[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently very rare?

Is it actually rare, or one of those coins that is &quot;hiding in plain sight&quot;, e.g. not rare, but so rarely offered individually that it leaves no footprint on auction listings?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
