I gave up on the piece I was chasing as price went too high, and ended up pursuing the ones on my list which I felt were reasonably priced. The Antiochus VIII Seleucid pieces have different reverses, the Akko-Ptolemaïs picked up on Goldberg's auction. Interestingly, the Andre Constantine Dimitriadis Antiochus VIII was sold on Heritage's auction on April 2014 raw for a higher price than the same coin slabbed below. Who said slabbed pieces bring higher prices 
Goldberg's Pickup - Stellar reverse (IMHO)

great detail on that obol as well
and that lifetime Alexander the Great is certainly nothing to sneeze at, another great purchase
I haven't picked up a coin in a little while, I recently picked up a national bank note on Hannibal, MO sort of a cross over collection of ancient themed US cities that issued nationals to tie in with the ancient collection that I've been thinking about doing for a while
World Collection
British Collection
German States Collection
Hoard the keys.
<< <i>Great stuff as expected, love the Selge! Dont see it much. >>
Agree, and the gorgon pictured is for sure the chopped off head of Medusa as seen on the shield of Pallas Athena.
fantastic little coin
At the announcement of the sale of the late Mr Dimitriadis' collection, Heritage had mentioned that besides Roman coins, he was also an avid collector of Greek and Ottoman coins, and at the time I assumed that by Greek they meant modern {1828---->} Greek. These coins will be sold at the upcoming NYINC and CICF. We'll see.
Wonderful group. The tiny obol is an unusual coin in excellent condition.
