<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7746589, member: 118780&quot;]My apologies as I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a numismatic term for this, but I&#039;m new to ancient coin collecting and am intrigued by some white &quot;stuff&quot; I found on a recent purchase. Here it can clearly be seen around Zeus on the reverse. It&#039;s also in Herakles&#039; ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1326166[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>Alexander III posthumous tetradrachm</p><p>323-320 BCE. Amphipolis.
