<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2523960, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with everything Ken wrote except I&#039;d call $250 for that coin a nightmare.&nbsp; While I suspect the coin is OK but abused, you will have to face the fact that many in your peer group will look at the coin and say &#039;No, thanks&#039; so you might be stuck with it for life.&nbsp; I might suggest buying one that was $250 on what I would call a good day (dealers would call that a nightmare because price ranges depend on whether you are the one paying or the one being paid).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not buy Price when it was new because I only have a dozen coins it covers and really little interest in specializing in this type.&nbsp; If I had been smart, I would have bought four copies and sold three so I could keep one free and buy a nice coin for my trouble.&nbsp; Is the book worth $850?&nbsp; I say no.&nbsp; I&#039;m wrong so very, very often but my interest in having a hundred or a thousand Alexander tets is miniscule at best.&nbsp; It is a book for a dealer like Ken not for a guy who has interests in other coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have noted a real prejudice on this list toward lifetime Alexander coins.&nbsp; OK, I have one but I don&#039;t like it any better than the later ones and really don&#039;t see the need to pay a premium for a situation that requires a Price attribution to establish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
