Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 08:33 am Here are a couple more of the "fresh" ancients - part of the larger collection I picked up recently. For sale here first.Trying to study up on each before posting. Here are pics of what I believe are very nice examples of a Tiberius Tribute Penny (MB-48, Paris-28, RIC-30, C-16 I believe) VF+++ and an Alexander III Tetradrachm (Price 2949) in Mint State or Near Mint State.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 09:05 am Whats the diameter on the tetradrachm...from the photo its hard to get scale and looks far too thick to be a tetradrachm so I am thinking that it is a drachm. a tetradrachm would be in the region of 26-28mm and a drachm 16-18mm approx Edited by DavidUK 09/21/2012 09:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 2:53 pm Thats the right size and weight...the photo is very deceptive to my eyes... you can see the edge looks too deep for the coin to be that big; this is maybe some kind of optical illustion possibly because the edge isn't flat but slightly convex. Anyway good work, its always nice to pick up some chunky silver coins :) Report this Post to the Staff
