<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2564625, member: 56859&quot;]Charles, if you&#039;re trying to pin down the attribution by determining the left field control mark, it will be difficult since very little of the mark remains on your coin.&nbsp; A better approach would be to quickly scroll through a large database of Alexander III tetradrachms (doesn&#039;t matter if it was issued by someone else in his name; your coin&#039;s reverse says BAΣIΛEΩΣ&nbsp; AΛEΞANΔPoY) looking for a monogram match (the thing under the throne).&nbsp; There are ~5000 hits for &quot;Alexander III tetradrachm&quot; in CNG&#039;s archives so that&#039;s an efficient place to search.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, before spending too much time on the task consider that this coin might be a cast fake.&nbsp; Look at all the raised bumps on the reverse-- casting bubbles?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553428[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
