<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1851428, member: 19463&quot;]A tetradrachm of Rhodes should have a 3/4 facing head of Helios and a rose reverse that fills the circular flan rather than being enclosed in an incuse square (as is found with the drachms and smaller).&nbsp;&nbsp; If the coin were real and worth $15k, the damage from mount and wear would have reduced it to a fraction.&nbsp; I can&#039;t have sympathy for someone who destroys a real coin of this bracket for jewelry so it is fair to say the item is worth what someone wants it to be worth.&nbsp; A jeweler will sell his art for whatever he can get.&nbsp; I would suggest just leaving the wearer to his fantasy and not rocking the boat.&nbsp; After 12 years there is no return so we can only hope he gets $15k worth of enjoyment out of it in his remaining years.&nbsp; If he offers to sell it to you, pass and suggest he see what the selling jeweler will give for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
