[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7680374, member: 118780"]I'm not an expert, but this is the time period I focus on. Prices for Alexanders can be all over the place. It really depends on - Lifetime vs after 323 BCE - The rarity of the mint - The quality of the strike, dies, and centering I've seen XF Alexander drachmas go over $1k, though this is too much. Unfortunately, bidding wars that don't really make sense can be common in these coins. Personally, I think $300-$400 for an XF is fair, maybe $600-$700 for a rare mint/type. Ironically, as I understand Alexander drachmas are actually rarer than the fancier tets. From what I've seen on Heritage, bids on well-known coins like Alexanders tend to go higher than market.
