Life-time Tet of Philip II---King of Macedon

WOW!!!
Wonderful posts everyone!!!

TIF's and Martin's and JB's examples are some of the best I've seen to date--UNBELIEVABLE!!

My bronze of Philip has long since been sold, so I'll post two of Alexander---a purported lifetime bronze and a rather heavily worn posthumous drachm....Hmmm, do I sense a trend there

Like members of my family, I LOVE 'em all despite their 'faults'.

'Guys', Thanks for all the posts and comments!!!
