    In a recent auction, I had put several bids which I lost on all but one. It was the one I wanted most, but since it was my only win, the shipping hurt a little. Sill a good price .





    Oh yeah, it's not a horseman :D

    It's a great coin with a great portrait. Much better than the one you showed me.

    I love it!! It's not easy to find one with such good eye appeal. The facing portrait on this type is often off center, worn, etc. Nice!

    Excellent pickup! Love the facing head, and the light earthen deposits on dark patina really makes it pop.

    Here's another one from Adramyteion.
