<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2243712, member: 42773"]I have a big book of Greek countermarks - I'll see if I can narrow it down later tonight. As the Macedonian Kingdom receded, many of their coins were countermarked by local governments that didn't have the resources to mint their own specie. That kept the coins in circulation for very long periods, which is why you find so many countermarked Macedonian bronzes in low grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
