<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2260833, member: 19463&quot;]The coin could be IDed by looking it up in the standard reference by Martin Price:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=price" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=price" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=price</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The book is out of print and sells for a hefty premium but it has 4100 variations on the theme and is considered worth having if you collect Alexander.&nbsp; I don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why anyone buys a coin at slab prices without proper ID, I fail to understand.&nbsp; You could have bought one from a full service dealer who might have IDed it for the same price as the plastic box.&nbsp;&nbsp; You might find it by comparing it to coins sold by CNGcoins using the research tool on their site or on acsearch.com but I warn not to assume a match just because it is close.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are a lot of minor details that will change the Price number.&nbsp; This is not the easy answer but it is cheaper than buying the book.</p><p><br /></p><p>The really easy answer is to sell the slab to someone who wants a slab and buy an identified raw coin from CNG or any of a hundred other dealers who own Price.&nbsp; I do not recommend removing the coin.&nbsp; Someone will pay for the plastic.&nbsp; We remove coins we want that are not easily found matching our wants.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
