[QUOTE="Alfonso Hernandez, post: 25323117, member: 118491"]This is coin is from a dozen Greek coins that I got from a man from Afghanistan. So, I presume they are Greek Bactrian. In another forum, an American soldier said that while in Afghanistan, they could buy ancient coins there for $20. I have read that some Greek Bactrian coins have different standard than the Attica, and other Greek; they have their own variety of the Owl. CNG has a video on this. I started collecting American silver coins over 20 years ago, mostly Morgan, Walking Liberty etc. which I buy from other collectors, and at coin shows. I have a couple of hundred. A few years ago, a friend that collects Roman Imperial got me interested in Ancients. Most of my ancients I got from him but some from CNG, Savoca and Roma, and a few from eBay.
