DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 7:11 pm I picked up this coin today, after several weeks of deliberation. I got it for the portrait; I'm hoping it has some more detail than the photo. I take forever to research/buy coins--just in case a better example surfaces in the meantime. Described as: Macedonia. Alexander III, the Great(336-323 BC). AE 17. Sear 6739. Edited by DVCollector 04/20/2012 7:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 7:23 pm Thanks! I think the centering is good too--and the lion skin over Herakles is well-defined too (many are blurry). When it arrives, I'll post follow-up pics for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 8:54 pm Thanks--I thought so too. There's quite a range of condition on these, and it really pays to shop around. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 9:05 pm Its a nice coin with a nice obverse and interesting reverse. I particularly like the club and quiver which still display pretty darn good detail. Report this Post to the Staff
