<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7594917, member: 86498&quot;]There was one area that I was more or less interested to see how it did was the late Seleukid coins as this auction had some hundreds of tetradrachms of Antiochos VII to Philip Philadelphos. Not that I had planned to purchase any, as per usual already had purchased all that I had needed.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> One group that interested me the most were the late tetradrchms minted by Antiochos IX very much like this coin.</p><p>Antiochos IX Ar Tetradrachm Antioch 96-95 BC&nbsp; Obv Head diademed unbearded right.

This coin was listed as an Antiochos X in a CNG Auction. I bid on it for a friend got it and discovered it was an Antiochos IX. Knowing he would not want another Antiochos IX I &quot;ate&quot; the coin.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Since then I had noted very few of this type being offered. This auction had 49 coins of basically this type.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I did not think that the prices for these coins were particularly strong. Some did better than others. However I was surprised that the market could eat so many of these coins without creating a fire sale.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
