<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1583317, member: 19463"]Kanishka 130-158 AD AE half unit reverse of Helios (sun god) Mitchiner 3065-3069. If not for the missing legend at the obverse right, this would be a nice specimen. On the good side, the king's name is on flan so all that is missing is King of Kings. It is still above average since these are usually worn and dumpy. Helios is one of the more common reverses but I'm not sure enough people care for these enough to say there is a market for the premium ones. Condition is what drives the market for Kushan. This one almost looks polished more than I would expect from an uncleaned lot like you bought (or is this from another source?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry this answer took a while but I have not found much time this week for reading groups not 100% into ancients. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine:[ATTACH]219298.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
