[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4032226, member: 85693"]Very funny post. I like how much you get out of each coin, Ryro - an attention to detail combined with a very active imagination. However, the ghost of Alexander may be haunting you tonight for that Einstein hairdo you gave him! This gives me an excuse to post this - it is a lifetime Alexander the Great, I think. What I find interesting is the patina - very thick, but peeled in areas, so you can see the different layers. A lot going on here chemically, I'm guessing. Brown over green over green over brown/bronze with an overall light dusting of dirt. [ATTACH=full]1059452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1059453[/ATTACH] [B]Macedonian King. Half Unit Alexander III (c. 336-323 B.C.)[/B] Head of Herakles right, with lionskin head-dress /AΛEΞANΔΡOY, between club above and quiver below; Π above. Price 310; Muller 1702; SNG Cop 1042; cf Sear 6739. (5.86 grams / 15 mm)[/QUOTE]
