<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1620309, member: 19463&quot;]These are very common.&nbsp; Be sure you distinguish between the small drachm as sold here and the larger and more popular tetradrachm (about 16g,) which sells for more even though it is probably more common.&nbsp; There are thousands of minor variations of these coins including some rare ones and the book (by Martin Price) needed to ID them sells for several hundred $ used now.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see this at $179 as any particular bargain or terribly excessive either.&nbsp; Common midgrade Alexanders in slabs have little demand among ancient collectors and are marketed to people who don&#039;t really care about or plan on learning about ancients.&nbsp; If that is you, perhaps this was the coin for you.&nbsp; Searching on the words Alexander and Drachm on vCoins shows about 200 currently for sale including many nicer and more expensive down to some worn slick and cheap.&nbsp; You&nbsp; will always have some selection as long as you are not looking for one specific mint or minor types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
