Great artistic quality and quite undervalued in my opinion. I think the history isn't as well known as other ancient series and thus value can suffer. Probably one of the more fascinating coins is that of Antiochus IV. A biblical villain. Don't show up to auction often, but very approachable in my opinion when they do. Got this one several years ago.

Haven't collected Seleucid for years. But, for a while there, I greatly enjoyed them. Here are used-to-own's:

Wonderful pieces Bob! Those are some great portraits. I always felt this series had some of the best artistic qualities of the era. That Zeus on Antiochus viii looks like he really needs a burger!
