<p>[QUOTE="Silverlock, post: 3200603, member: 98181"]I’m as far from an expert as they come, but for what it’s worth the “C” looks to me like a countermark. Alexander tets often have countermarks, punches, and test cuts. I don’t think a countermark is anything to worry about. I’m not sure what odd blob at 3 o’clock you are referring to. The design is running off the flan, but off center strikes are the norm for ancient coins. If you got it from a reliable source you have nothing to worry about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
