(vcoins search).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re going for the &#039;wow&#039; factor, you might be able to find a silver Tetradrachm of one of the Seleucid kings (like Antiochus III or Demetrius/Demetrios I for $300. Large coin, 3-D high relief.&nbsp; Really impressive.&nbsp; The Seleucid kings past the 120&#039;s BC don&#039;t really have super-impressive coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah, dirty little secret. It&#039;s cheaper than collecting American coins, if one knows what one&#039;s doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
