<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scrap, post: 3097611, member: 95836&quot;][ATTACH]783223[/ATTACH]An Afghani local gave this to me the other day as a thankyou. He said he isn’t sure of the value or the authenticity, but that his family member smuggled it out of Iraq from a destroyed museum several years ago. He had a small handful of different similar coins. </p><p>The fact he gave it to me and didn’t try to sell it too me says something.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s tarnish shows no real rust or green, looks like typical silver tarnish. I haven’t been able to weigh but it’s heavy, maybe 16-30 grams. It rings like a silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m thinking Alexander the Great maybe, but the border and head band on the face as well as the obverse throws me off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse has a deep wound from hitting something hard, and it shows no discoloration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Help! Hahaha[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
