[QUOTE="KDD, post: 4104688, member: 110611"]Thanks for the optimism. I think I'll try and collect coins until I get them replaced by better condition ones, then I might sell. If the second coin is Indian or Arab, I might sell that one if I can. Pretty dire living with an abusive drunk. The other day he was amplifying the sound of the washing machine as I slept, laughing maniacally and yelling outside my bedroom door. Thinking of all kinds of ways I might generate a bit of money to save enough to get out of this situation, but right now selling is awkward for me but it is certainly something I will tempt if I get good at it. This is my Alexander the Great coin, cost me $42.55 (Australian) at auction [EDIT: Didn't think how that sounded. No, not at auction. An ebay auction]. I bought two other coins from the seller so I don't count the postage for this one. Don't like posting the sellers image without his authority, but I can't imagine it would be an issue and will delete it if it is: [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/pBIAAOSwi5xeMh2K/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RyEAAOSwvvJeMh1o/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] To my inexperienced eye, it looks like it has some granularity and could be cleaned further? The previous cleaner erred on the side of caution? Like I said, I am leaning the way of keeping it as is because to me it makes it look more unquestionably authentic. Hopefully it is genuine.[/QUOTE]
