[QUOTE="J.T. Parker, post: 4556586, member: 106405"]Hello Finn235, Hope you get the situation sorted out to your satisfaction and was wondering if you could possibly help w/ a mis-identified Seleucid tet. I purchased in 2008. The dealer, long forgotten advertised & I purchased this coin as a Seleucus I, but David Sear I.D-ed this piece in his COA as Seleucus II Callinicus 246-226 BC Susa mint .("VF & Nearly VF Scarce") Refs.: H&L 787a, Newell 346 Plate XXVII,11 & Boehringer p. 167,20. My questions to you ,or anyone else interested & knowledgeable, are #1 How can you tell?...and #2 Just how 'scarce/rare' is this mintage?? Any further info would be deeply appreciated & pics supplied upon request, (I'm just a lazy old fart) J.T. Addendum: After checking the 'Seleucid ID Site', no Susa mintage coins were listed.....(perhaps 'scarce' after all.)[/QUOTE]
