[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1620416, member: 26302"]Always pay very close attention to the denomination. It will tell you the size. A tetradrachm is a nice large coin, thicker and most are a little larger than a quarter. A drachm is much smaller, like a thicker nickel. Also with these there is a big difference between lifetime issues of posthumous ones. Lifetime issues, (struck during Alexander's lifetime), are much more desired. To me I thought that was too high because of the quality. I found it too mushy to justify that price. I am cheap though. Go to CICF in April in Chicago man. You can meet me there and we can find a better one for less or the same money. I can also show you my favorites, the pick boxes. :) Even if you don't buy anything there, going to the CICF and seeing all of these ancients in person, handling them, talking to dealers, is about the best thing to "get you up to speed" that I can think of. You are lucky you live in Il, (for that reason at least ;)).[/QUOTE]
