texasmick Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/06/2007 4:17 pm A couple of months ago, I purchased a coin from an old Russian guy at a local show. I'm finally getting photos taken and uploading them. The seller seemed to be having a rough show. I'm not exactly saying it was a mercy purchase, but I was completely unprepared and have no idea if I paid a fair price ($15). The flip contained a slip of paper with the following description: quote: Northen [sic] Greece. Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. 359-336 BC. AE 16 mm. Macedonian mint. Head of Apollo right / Naked youth on horce pracing r. Sear, Greek Coins, #6696. Black patina. Report this Post to the Staff

The Sear catalogue quoted is old; my 1998 reprint lists number 6696 at £10 in Fine; I wouldn't be that generous with the grade on yours. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
