<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeJoss, post: 4400851, member: 112066&quot;]My first coin (of hopefully many) arrived today! I thought I’d knock a big name off the list and get and Alexander. I was drawn to it because of it’s lovely lettering, something that interests me as a classics student who is learning Ancient Greek.</p><p>Being new to collecting numismatics I come with a few questions; how come some coins have a fairly shiny finish such as mine, whilst others appear much less clear and almost dirty? Is it because they have been polished or it’s it to do with the conditions they were found in? Also, above Herakles’ club on the reverse is the only figure I don’t understand the meaning of, it looks like a hooked “r” and I was wondering if someone could tell me what this represents?</p><p>What was everyone else’s first coin? post below!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Minted 336-323, 18mm, 6.10g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1106065[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1106067[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
