I purchased my first coin (an Alexander), listed online with this heading: "Alexander the Great Tetradrachm 175-125 BC Large Silver Coin". I'm attempting to retrieve some information on the region in which it was struck, and any other information applicable to the coin's production. Given the date, it was produced a couple centuries after his death. The listing contained the following verbiage... "Alexander the Great Silver Tetradrachm 175-125 BC. Two special things to notice about this particular coin, the obverse is doublestruck and on the reverse the helmet below eagle is uncommon variety. Weighs 16.8 and guaranteed genuine. You get the exact coin in the photo." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Report this Post to the Staff

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 12:15 am Nice coin, double strikes aren't usually seen on these. Have a shot at some lifetime or early posthumous ones as the styles are quite different from the above coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe I'll take a look at the lifetime coins for my next potential purchase. Also, finding a capsule for this coin has been a fruitless endeavor thus far, I even checked with AirTite customer service... any recommendations on that?
