<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4918782, member: 99456&quot;][USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] - your coin certainly fits my definition of &quot;worn + wonderful&quot; and&nbsp; &quot;rare&quot; a nice bonus.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a coin that I put in this category:11.88g of &quot;worn + wonderful&quot;, an Antiochus III large Seleucid bronze.&nbsp; On &quot;rare&quot;, I am still puzzling over this coin which seems to be unlisted at the level of its reverse monogram which belongs to a longtime Antioch magistrate who was transferred to Asia Minor c. 203 BC [S.C. Part 1 Vol 1] - this also leads to some ambiguity in mint: Antioch? Uncertain Mint 55? possibly Sardes?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1185387[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="4"><b>Seleukid Kingdom, Antiochos III &quot;The Great&quot;</b>, 223-187 BC, AE, Antioch?
