<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1839184, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with John.&nbsp; The coin is definitely not ancient and not worth $1.&nbsp; The edge markings suggest to me that it was removed from costume jewelry.&nbsp; For the record, I wouldn&#039;t pay $26k for that split tail drachm either even though it is a very nice example of a very rare early version.&nbsp; You may find wealthy collectors who disagree with me on that one but I feel 100% confident in the OP coin being modern.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Something we say here over and over is that it is very dangerous to buy ancients from a dealer who knows nothing about ancients.&nbsp; I do not know if they are not honest or not informed.&nbsp; Would you buy a rare Barber from me?&nbsp; You shouldn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
