<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 1981932, member: 13450&quot;]I gave up on the piece I was chasing as price went too high, and ended up pursuing the ones on my list which I felt were reasonably priced. The Antiochus VIII Seleucid pieces have different reverses, the Akko-Ptolemaïs picked up on Goldberg&#039;s auction. Interestingly, the Andre Constantine Dimitriadis Antiochus VIII was sold on Heritage&#039;s auction on April 2014 raw for a higher price than the same coin slabbed below.
