<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4322597, member: 19463"]I only have one of the general type and no special interest in becoming an Alexander specialist in any metal. I have no idea of the meaning of the delta at the top. I assume this is explained in Price but I doubt I will ever own those either. That is the best part of ancients: you can collect 'your way'. This thread shows a dozen variations on the type but I assume that is a small fraction of what is out there for a real student to study. By pure luck, of those shown here, my coin is my favorite. I could say it is because it uses that minuscule omicron which we see 600 years later on Alexandrian coins of Diocletian but the fact is it is my favorite because it is mine. Similarly my only child is my favorite, too. Funny how that works. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098121[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
