<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1842430, member: 19463"]There are many variations on this theme and I doubt people will pay extra for any small differences. Condition would seem to be more important but this one is not all that nice. I don't have one exactly like it but have one similar to Steve's that was $30 in 2000. I thought the BA coins were later. For example that is the legend on my Philip V with goats well over a century after Alexander died. </p><p><br /></p><p>My best guess is that a big sale always hope to draw big bids on great coins and a certain number of excessive bids on lesser coins that filled out the sale. I often pay too much for coins I want so I should also allow that privilege to rich people with different interest and for whom $300 is chump change. Perhaps the coin is a rare variation but that does not always mean it will sell for more unless you get two people with money who really want the thing. I don't want this at $300. You?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]306245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306246[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
