    Hello Group,
    While going through my small Ancients Collection I came across this coin. Usually I had my 'ancients' purchases sent off to David Sear for a COA however none was found w/ this coin. Info provided by seller on this is: Amphipolis Mint, 317-311 BCE, 17.2 gams., 25mm Diameter, VF condition.
    Any help would be appreciated as I have had it in my FAKE pile for 15 years now.
    Thanks, you Guys & Gals,

    If your coin was reasonably priced, I'd buy it because I don't see anything alarming in the photo. Let's see if I bought a genuine coin. ;)

    Curious. You paid $400 for this coin about 15 years ago. What would you expect a fair retail price for this exact coin to be today?

    1. Generally less than $400.
    2. Generally more than $400.

    Comparing it with Test already sold on eBay I would guess the $325-425 range,
    but then again I could be way off. (Hell, I thought it was a fake for the last 15 years...Ha!)
