CARTHAGE, Æ16, 3rd cent BC, Tanit head l./Horse stg r, palm behind; VF,. nrly centered, head & horse complete, medium brown patina, a pleasant bold example. "Carthaginian coins always have a bizarre romance," I wrote in my February auction, and it was proven with the Choice VF+/VF of this type selling for $311 on a $340 bid after intense competition. (And a GVF reached $472, Gemini 1/11.)
