[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2447167, member: 56859"]From CNG's archives, here's a coin which seems to be the same as yours, if I'm seeing an E below the quiver on your coin's reverse.

Price authored a few for coins of Macedonia and you will often one of his books used as reference for Alexander III coins. Sometimes multiple references are cited for a given coin. Unless the reference says "(someone's book or catalog, #), [I]this coin[/I]", it means the coin pictured is like the coin in the reference book, not that it is the same physical coin. The condition of this CNG coin looks more or less equivalent to your coin, although better images of yours would be helpful.
