<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 24690845, member: 118540&quot;][USER=144616]@5150rider707[/USER] Are you interesting in buying the coin, for your collection? If you buy the coin, will you keep the coin within the jewelry bezel? Or will you remove the coin from the jewelry bezel? Often, I&#039;ve seen that, an ancient coin, that is within a jewelry bezel, will cost more at retail, than if the coin is not within a jewelry bezel, but it seems like it would be a smaller market, because it seems like, most ancient coin collectors would prefer an example that is not within a jewelry bezel, unless they wanted to wear it as jewelry. Also, is the jewelry bezel bent? If the coin were removed from the jewelry bezel, then, as [USER=135271]@The Meat man[/USER] said, the edge of the coin, and perhaps the obverse and reverse of the coin near the edge, have probably been damaged, in the process of installing the coin within the jewelry bezel, which would make the coin have less value on the market, than if the coin had never been in the jewelry bezel. I&#039;m not an expert in the prices of Alexander The Great tetradrachms, even though I own 1, which I bought in 2019, when prices were probably lower. If the coin had never been in a jewelry bezel, and if the coin is authentic (I&#039;m not expert enough to know), then the coin would have been a pretty nice example, with nice portrait style, and would perhaps sell retail at auction or at Vcoins.com for $300 to $600, which is my wild guess. And, a dealer would pay less than that, because the dealer has to sell the coin, to make a profit. You can search Vcoins.com for keywords Alexander tetradrachm, to compare retail prices. And, as [USER=101968]@JohnnyC[/USER] said, you can search CNG Research for keywords Alexander tetradrachm, for past CNG auction retail prices. Here&#039;s my Alexander The Great tetradrachm, which I bought from a very reputable dealer in 2019 for $349 including $4 for shipping. It is a posthumous issue.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1575591[/ATTACH]</p><p>Alexander III The Great. Posthumous Issue. AR Tetradrachm. Minted 280 BC to 200 BC. Odessos Mint. Price 1163.
