<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8035724, member: 26302"]Yeah, I agree. You can feel the years of military campaigns on his face. The celator who created these dies were the best I have seen. Melqart on the reverse usually looks somewhat cartoonish. Here is a very high style in my view of a god with very human features. Like I said, one of my favorite types so literally seen a couple of hundred for sale over the years. My eye stopped when I saw this example, (how I can tell a coin is special). I wish a couple of flaws were not present on it, but I could not resist the style. If it were normal style, I would have bid half as much on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
