turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 7:50 pm Although I have only collected ancients for a short period, I have wanted this coin since grade school. I saw an example of this coin on a cover of a book when in grade school and thought it would be so cool to own. I don't know why, but it has taken me nearly a lifetime to get one. This one so caught my eye and I had to have it. Report this Post to the Staff

turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 8:26 pm Thanks! As best as I can tell, it is Antioch. Antioch and Thessalonica are becoming my favorite mints. Rome is up there too. London is the next mint that I do not have that I want to pick up. Report this Post to the Staff
