Ancient => A Cute Lil' Bottom-Feeder => Alex III & some good ol' weapons!!!

Sure, this coin may not be super high-end, but it just has such a sweet look about it, yes? ... it reminded me of root beer!! (apparently I love the ol' Lion Head-dress look => I've purchased a few coins with this theme lately)

=> oh well, I hope that you think it is as simple-n-cool as I do? ... enjoy!!

It is very cool.

 

Steve, love the patina, well centered, very nice, your sure getting a lot of the club coin's..:thumb: did you get the yard cleaned up...

 

It's a great looking coin - lots of character. That's some damn fine bottom feeding.

 

Very nice! This actually appears to be one of the few bronzes that are definitely attributable to Alexander's lifetime. Tarsos mint, struck circa 327-323 BC. Price 3029

 

Great Patina!

Lifetime too! :thumb:

 

Neat coin, you don't see too many of those "Lifers."

 

Now this is a nice coin Jerry. I thought you were on the wagon. Instead, I think you're being dragged behind the wagon.

 

=> Bing, how was I supposed to know that a wagon could carry so much great stuff??!!

 

Do we know where this was minted & where it circulated?

 

NM someone beat me to it.

 

=> thanks for the interesting info, Ardatirion!! (it makes the coin seem even more cool)

 

the bow and quiver look great and the color is awesome! your "bottom feeders" are like me flagship coins!
