<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1795241, member: 42773&quot;]The very same, although you have a variant not listed by Meshorer - it&#039;s Schmitt-Korte 67, where the queen&#039;s name occurs on two lines as opposed to three. (The seller&#039;s pic of the reverse of that coin is upside-down.) You&#039;ve got a nice, solid obverse on that piece.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. SK calls these coins crudely-styled and poorly-made, but that seems rather redundant. By Graeco-Roman standards, all Nabataean coins are crude and poorly-made. Most of the ancient coinage of the Levant is almost as bad, while we&#039;re at it. I have to repeat my mantra on this issue: that you collect certain coins for their historic and numismatic value instead of their aesthetic virtues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
