<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2865295, member: 81887&quot;]I&#039;ve used this photo before, but it&#039;s relevant to the discussion, so here it is:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]683421[/ATTACH]</p><p>Parthian Kingdom. Seleukia-on-the-Tigris mint. Artabanos II (or III, or IV) (10-38 AD). Debased AR tetradrachm (26.4mm, 12.51g). Obverse: King&#039;s diademed bust facing, with beard, mustache, and shaggy long hair. Reverse: King on horseback left, receiving palm branch from Tyche; four-line Greek legend around Basileos/Arsakou/Dikaiou/Epiphanous, year in front of and behind head, month-monogram below horse. Dated Gorpiaios, 338 Seleucid Era (= August, AD 27). Sellwood 63.5, Shore 336. This coin: Agora Auctions Sale 66, lot 66. </p><p><br /></p><p>My winning bid was $480, which is rather cheap for this type.&nbsp; I think the reverse being off-center made this less desirable to many collectors.&nbsp; Fortunately, the obverse portrait is still well-centered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
