<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2440014, member: 74712&quot;]My mother inherited a pendant with an Alexander III drachm in it.&nbsp; My grandmother bought it in Greece over 50 years ago.&nbsp; Having been bought in Greece I know comes with a red flag, but I do not know if that would include what was being sold 50 years ago.&nbsp; She had purchased other coins which I have already shown here which were determined to be fake, and I suspect this one is too, but it looks a little nicer than the others, and so I wanted to get your opinions:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]508278[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]508280[/ATTACH] </p><p>The coin itself (not the pendant) is 17mm, which puts it in line with other drachms I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; The weight in the pendant is 8grams, which is clearly more, but I don&#039;t want to remove it from the pendant to get the weight of the actual coin.&nbsp; The design almost looks too small for the coin, but I have not handled many Drachms.&nbsp; Anyway, any extra opinions would be appreciated!&nbsp; Thanks all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
