<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2269187, member: 42773&quot;]One more Baltimore coin for today, then I&#039;ll desist, or I won&#039;t have anything to post the rest of the week. This is a common Seleucid type that we&#039;re all familiar with, so I&#039;ll dispense with the lecturing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking for the right coin of this type for <u>three years</u> now. I&#039;ve found plenty with nice busts, but the reverses are stubbornly, incorrigibly, doggedly, intractably, adamantly, and relentlessly struck off center. And on the rare occasion that I&#039;ve found a complete reverse, there was something unacceptably wrong with the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here it finally is, Antiochos VII, Eros, Headdress of Isis, both sides equally centered and struck, with a COMPLETE reverse: the full headdress, the full inscriptions, date, and monogram. You don&#039;t see this everyday.</p><p><br /></p><p>If had to file one small complaint, it would be that Eros&#039; wing is only partially visible, but maybe he should walk for a change - sometimes it&#039;s better to take love slowly.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]451901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
