Just in case anyone wants to see it, this one cost me $5 and is as fake as they get.

Wow such a nice coin. I want!

Just to show what a noob I am at all this, I thought the Price P102 in the description referred to the cost of the coin, and that you had spent £102 on it!! Ooops!

Hmm I must say this price label thing got me confused also.

The Price equation is the mathmatical formula which shows how altruistic behaviour survives evolution and is benificial to a gene pool, Price took his own life after converting to theism and giving away all of his possesions before cutting his garroted artery with nail scissors.

I am guessing that this has nothing to do with it, but that thought led me to remember Price is a surname also, so perhaps like Krauss it is a catalogue number?

I don't have any reference for Greek coins and for Roman only what appears in Spinks. I don't read the Greek alphabet either (though I will get my girlfriend to teach me, she knows everything linguistic speaking Bulgarian, English, Japanese and Chinese and reading too)

This I will rectify at some stage but for the moment I am just judging what is good and bad by what is available at what prices and using the internet and other tools for reference, and of course I have had some good advice from those on here who seem happy to discuss and share their knowledge.

Price (Martin Jessop) has wrote what is (for now) the most complete / referred to catalog on Alexander III (and Philip III) coins. You will only scarcely go pass such a coin without a "Price" reference, unless someone doesn't know what he's selling.
