<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 1377704, member: 33176&quot;]Outstandingly good and informative responses to this. I am not an ancient collector (that is, I do not collect ancient coins as a practice, not that I don&#039;t have a few years on me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), but I do have a desire for a couple of coins. One with Hercules in the Lion Skin which I identify with Alexander the Great, although I know in the back of my head that these were made for a &quot;few&quot; years after he died, and the other with the head of Athena on the obverse and the Owl on the reverse. I wanted to get a coin for a bargan price, fully realizing that many bargans are not really that. I saw this coin and started to jump on it, then looked at it critically and realized it was not what I wanted. Ripley&#039;s coin shows much better detail with equal wear and is a nicer coin. I don&#039;t want to pay a cheap price and end up with something I regret buying. I think I will pass on this one and look for a specimen that I will be happy with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
