I just had a look on Helvetica's. There are several that could be a match. RIC numbers 22a, 23a, 25a all seem to match. Take a look at Dane's list and see which one you think best matches.
BTW, where have you been lately? I haven't noticed any posts from you.

The Antioch is incredible  Nice pick-up. The Aquileia looks like RIC VI Aquileia 25a to me, hopefully someone can confirm this as for some reason I'm thinking I have missed something. |

bobbyhelmet & jwharper- thanks for the input! But doesn't 25a have a mintmark of "AQP" ?
jwharper- Thanks for the complement! I was happy to get this one back in 2010. oh, and I have been lurking the forum, but I just haven't been buying as many uncleaned lots as of late. But I'll be around.

Looking at the two coins, the second one looks like the smaller head to me. I'm thinking 23a. Two very nice coins, the first ones a beauty.

I know what you mean, I think this is why I was doubting it myself, gotta remember Antioch heads are usually HUGE so everything looks small when they are around  The pic I've just posted gives a much better perspective to compare to. |

I see the difference now Bobby thanks for posting that coin, though the head on the second coin does appear to be smaller than the first. Your example is even smaller that #2.
