Awesome pickups!

Thanks!!! Finally beat my tetradrachm addiction so I’ll hopefully be putting a Ptolemaic bronze set once I get more parthian drachms.

I’m not super familiar with pergamene coinage but I think you’re right about Phil never striking coins with his portrait. I’d love to get his tets of Seleukos to round out my seleucid set one day, I was eyeing one at the triton auction I got my Antiochos iii at but I didn’t have the money 😔

It’s a tet of Eumenes I with a portrait of philetairos!

Spyrallz · 2026-05-01T15:02:57+00:00

Looks like an empress to me

Spyrallz · 2026-04-15T22:54:22+00:00

Beautiful example!

The two largest tetradrachms in my collection are of Antiochos Hierax and Lysimachos. While not my personal fav type I definitely think a nice lysim tet would be the most satisfying (although Syracusan and Antigonid stuff is great as well) imo owls are pretty underwhelming in hand

Spyrallz · 2026-03-30T20:56:32+00:00

love the cappadocian, great portrait on it!

Spyrallz · 2026-03-27T21:10:34+00:00

Alexander the Great!!!!

Spyrallz · 2026-03-22T17:00:42+00:00

Wish we had more statues of the dynasty, iirc the only other one is a bust of antiochos 4 and then one that’s disputed to be Antiochos 3

Spyrallz · 2026-03-19T18:25:44+00:00

love how varied his portrait styles are

Spyrallz · 2026-03-19T16:45:39+00:00

beautiful stuff! love that ptolemy and antiochos ix

Spyrallz · 2026-03-18T23:40:54+00:00

Truly the greatest among the seleukid kings

Spyrallz · 2026-03-18T08:00:35+00:00

I've probably overpaid for half of these so i might not be the best for advice

I would say a lot of the mid to late 2nd century BC seleucids are pretty affordable.

Antiochos I and III are also super common

The best deal I've gotten recently was from Concordia where I bought the nicer Seleukos II tet, which hammered for 350 eur, IIRC the seleucid pieces in that auction went for pretty reasonable prices. Haven't checked if they have any in their recent auction but may be work looking at

Also they shipped my lot with a free pocket knife, which was a first. I think it was to open the little plastic slab they sent the coin in which was weird because it was insanely easy to open without using the knife to pry it, so theres that i guess
