<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2537013, member: 33176"]Actually I collect a lot by what catches my eye or my fancy at the moment. I had wanted an Alexander Tet for awhile, but wasn't willing to put out the bucks. I finally ordered a cull Drachm from Museum Surplus or some such place as that. Petty sad coin, but if you hold it just right, you can make out Hercules and some seated figure on the reverse. This was followed by another Drachm with much better detail and finally a Tet from a pawn shop in Canada on e-bay. I paid $125 for the Tet and some on here said..."Pretty good coin". I also ordered one from the same shop that had a mintmark under the throne that looked like a Masonic symbol which I sold to a friend for what I paid. I was just looking on e-bay and saw this one going for $40 or so, so I put in a bid and got it for $58. Thought it wasn't too bad, when I get it in-hand, I'll try and do a photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
