Picked this one up today. Not the best condition, but decent looking little coin, looking forward to seeing it in hand (er, in slab in hand). Kingdom of Macedon, Alexander III, 336-323 BC, AR Drachm Also, picked up this golden beauty. This is more like what I normally collect. Love the older holders too. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow! We bought a new 4x4 Jeep last spring, and this is the first time I got to take it out and play a little in some decent snow.

Awesome coins! if i were looking to purchase one how much would one cost me in a condition that is similar to the ones displaied in the pictures, also what are the conditions of teh coins in the pictures?
I will PM you how much I paid for mine (the graded one). I am sure you could get raw for cheaper. I will let others say how much a similar raw will cost, and that way I will know how much I over paid, haha.
that's a respectable drachm you got there jwitten...i still don't have a lifetime issue. i have to admit, i admire the gold coin U.S. coin as well!
