    Happy Greetings.
    This was the last coin I could acquire few hours before 2015. It has a sandy patina and weighs 4.7 g. It's likely to be an Ancient Seleucid. The obverse seems new to me whereby I couldn't detect whether it's the face of a man or a woman. Here's the scan of the face. Thank you for your contribution to identify it. AGrO.jpg

    ... just jokes ...

    sadly and not probably surprisingly, I don't know?

    => but I do hope that you have great night ... and I look forward to your 2015 posts (ummm, I'll try to be better at solving your coin-IDs in 2015)

    Cheers, brother

    I would say it's a man and I probably would have guessed one of the Constantine's but you say possibly Seleucid. What does the reverse look like.

    when I doubt, guess Apollo.

    It might be Eros. Antiochus VII or IX, the reverse image will tell.

    Hey Charles, Happy New Year! I really can't help you without a pic of the reverse.

    Happy New Year to all CT Brethren.
    I apologize for the delay because my son was recharging the Internet. As for the reverse, I first omitted to post it because of its bad condition. But now here is the scan. Thanks.. AGr R.jpg
