<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2582652, member: 56859&quot;]I have a similarly scraped up coin from a large mixed lot.&nbsp; The type itself is desirable and uncommon.&nbsp; Despite its obvious problem, I like it and am keeping it.&nbsp; Maybe someday if one is available that isn&#039;t so scratched, and if the price isn&#039;t exorbitant, and if I have funds at that moment I may &quot;upgrade&quot;&nbsp; (upgrade in quotes because I never seem to get rid of the upgraded coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>Alexander taming Bucephalus.&nbsp; How cool is that?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/koinonmacedonbucephalus-lg-jpg.333293/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Macedon Koinon</b></p><p>3rd century AD (in the time of Severus Alexander?
