FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 5:40 pm I agree that the coin is an "as is" type with no improvements to be made. But it is a nice portrait of 'Alex' with the elephant headdress ! I would be surprised if it doesn't take a jump up over 20 at the close ! Actually if I did not have this 'foolish' inclination to be courteous I would throw in a bid myself ! But that would be something against my nature ....... So instead I will wish you the best my friend. I really think it is worth at least double the current bid I would consider at least 20 if you like it. Report this Post to the Staff
lod254 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 6:02 pm Thanks guys! My first ancient! And thanks for not sniping me. I got it for ~$20 USD with about $6 shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 6:26 pm Very good ! I started out my adventures in coin collecting with an 'Alex' drachm (slightly damaged) way back in AD 1976 ! Always best to get your first coin with the superlative "the Great" attached ! Later you can get "the not so Great" ! Report this Post to the Staff
lod254 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 05:42 am Haha. AD 1976, well that would make you an ancient then, wouldn't it? Report this Post to the Staff
