arrowstation New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 02:59 am I've stumbled across another coin. It looks like "Phaselis, Lycia, 208 - 207 B.C., In the Name of Alexander the Great" The last time I posted a coin it turned out to be fake. Is this one real? If so, how much is it worth?

I would love to see a macrograph of the edge in front of the nose. Report this Post to the Staff
