CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 2:24 pm Heritage Auctions - It's Tetradrachm Tuesday and this Alexander III the Great issue is giving us life. Head of Heracles right, wearing lion skin headdress, paws tied before neck / AΛEΞANΔPOY, Zeus seated left on backless throne, right leg drawn back, feet on stool, eagle in right hand, scepter in left; Λ above race torch in left field, M above star below throne. Certified AU 5/5 - 4/5 by NGC. View Listing Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/08/2020 6:47 pm Quite nice, but there must have been a shift change at the mint between the work on Zeus and the engraving of AΛEΞANΔPOY. Or maybe the same die engraver with some imbibing in between? In any event, a lovely coin...it's at $320 with a day to go. Report this Post to the Staff

Here another child from the very same artist, much lower grading though: Edited by DirtyHarry 09/09/2020 12:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
