| I didn't see a caveat anywhere on his pages that he's selling repros and some of the prices sure are as if he's trying to deceive. I think he's trying to deceive --hence listing him. |

Yikes, I see my question above got garbled with code-junk when the forum-bot saw lettering with some diacritics. I'm therefore resending the question with no diacritics on 'Haritat' and 'heth.':

And now for one of the most jargon-heavy questions I've ever asked. So, Syllaeus and Aretas IV co-ruled Nabataea for a few rivalous years before Aretas IV won out. They had some ruling-together coins. Is it that the shin + lam stands for Syllaeus? Aretas IV in Aramaic was called Haritat; does the heth/het stand for him? |

| I wouldn't buy it. The missing details and pebbly surface yell "cast copy" and the patina looks too much like acrylic paint wash --or maybe just soot. When surfaces are so worn down that details are rubbed off (as happens), then why would the raised surfaces not be smooth? Instead they have the cast-coin gritty texture apparently --it's a "detail" that "should" rub away if they were really handled so much. |
