<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7578849, member: 118780&quot;]An athenian owl will be easy to come by. Most auctions have multiple copies. I second the recommendation that Roma Numismatics works best for your needs. You can also look at vcoins. Several dealers are in the UK. The stores are honest, though some have high prices so do your research before buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the Alexander gold stater, these commonly come up at auction. However, this coin was minted both during Alexander the Great&#039;s life and for a long time after his death. Before you buy one, consider whether you want a lifetime coin or not. Although I don&#039;t own this coin, from what I&#039;ve seen lifetime vs afterwards doesn&#039;t affect the price too much. Prices are mostly affected by the coin&#039;s condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do care whether the coin is lifetime, then I recommend you look at <a href="http://numismatics.org/pella/results?q=statedAuthority_facet%3A%22Alexander+III+of+Macedon%22+AND+denomination_facet%3A%22Stater%22+AND+material_facet%3A%22Gold%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/pella/results?q=statedAuthority_facet%3A%22Alexander+III+of+Macedon%22+AND+denomination_facet%3A%22Stater%22+AND+material_facet%3A%22Gold%22" rel="nofollow">Pella</a>. This will provide estimated dates for many different known coins. Most auctions will include the Price number, so you then just need to check it here to verify if it&#039;s lifetime. Alexander died in 323 BC, so any coin that ceased minting by then will be lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
