<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3655662, member: 19463"]I think we would be surprised at the amount of trade that went on between East and West in the time of these coins. It is not at all necessary that the coins were made there and the wear suggests they had a place in the economy for quite a while. I see no reason to doubt the coin. As far as price goes, some will dislike the coin due to the wear while others accept wear but dislike the centering. At any given moment worldwide there are a thousand drachms like these on the market ranging from what you paid to ten or twenty times that much. We select what is available when and where we are in the market. I bought mine mostly for the mouse:</p><p><br /></p><p>Antigonos Monophthalmus using the types of Alexander III AR drachm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]982439[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
