This new coin is an upgrade of my Philip I coin. It came in an NGC slab but please don't hold that against the coin. Here are a couple more photos to show what the coin is all about. Please post your coins of Philip I & other Seleucid kingdom folk.

 

Beautiful coin - they don't make 'em like that anymore.

 

Very nice C89. I don't have one of these but would like one someday.

I don't have any Seleucids, but it is a nice coin.
Congrats!

 

that's a super tet as well @jwitten
