<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2619289, member: 57495"]Very interesting! That's quite a whopper of a coin. I think most prefer round, but I'm drawn to oddly-shaped planchets as well. Here's an AtG tet that I bought partially because of its pleasing elliptical shape. I thought it had a lot of character despite its flaws and condition, and of course, these tend to be cheaper than less symmetrically-challenged examples <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]574322[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>MACEDONIAN KINGDOM</b></p><p>Alexander the Great</p><p>AR Tetradrachm. 17.4g, 32mm x 25.5mm.
