[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4605249, member: 56859"]Oooooooooooh, so many wonderful coins in this thread!! Alexandrian tets seem to be an acquired taste. The dumpy flans with ragged edges and often crude art can be a turn-off. Here's my first Alexandrian, a tet of A-Pi. It came in a small lot of four coins purchased for the other three. I thought this tet was hideous at first. The metal is porous and the engraving crude. In retrospect this is actually a very well struck and well preserved specimen from that period in Alexandrian coinage!
