<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8448920, member: 86498"]I cannot say that any of my coins are completely irreplaceable. Eventually when I finally decide to put the collection back on the market they will all go. However I will miss some more than others. There are some that are among my favorites because they represent something to me personally. </p><p>Ar Tetradrachm of Prolemy I as Satrap of Egypt Memphis 322-321 BC In the name and types of Alexander the Great.

At the time it was considered to be a lifetime issue and of all the coins minted by Alexander I thought that this type was the nicest. Naturally attributions change and even though at the time I had picked it up at a Frankfurt Numismata in 2014 I knew that it was posthumous I still liked and wanted the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
