<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1628863, member: 19463&quot;]This is Antioch which is generally appreciated as the best work on FH coins of the larger module.&nbsp; It is missing a little reverse legend but not a bad coin by any means and well detailed on the soldier and horseman rather than flat in places as is common.&nbsp; I&#039;d call it a $70 coin so I assume the slabber seller wants $150.&nbsp; The photo makes it hard to read the workshop letter (that slab tab does not help either) but I assume you can make it out.</p><p>[ATTACH]232353.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]232352.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My example from E shop is a bit flat on the bottom but still readable. It was $40 in 1998.&nbsp; The S shop FH4 one has scratches in a not-attractive sandy surface.&nbsp; It was $14 in 1991.&nbsp; It might clean but it might be ruined.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Antioch is not my personal favorite style but there is no denying that they have some nice coins.&nbsp; There are more of them in great shape than most mints.&nbsp; People are paying too much for these common coins but the larger size (AE2) are good looking.&nbsp; There is no reason to pay high prices for the AE4 coins that tend to be crude as well as small but some sellers don&#039;t make the distinction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
