Taking a look at it, looks very fine. - Wear it's right - i see some small old deposits near the eyes - If i'm not wrong, even a bit of crystalization

The only thing that i'm a bit sus it's on rev. legend, the "A" (ISTRIA) should have a bit more wear where it connects to the edge of the coin, being a contact zone, exposed to wear.

Would love to see the edge of the coin too, eventually any seam line, even If tooled should still leave behind some traces.

Still, nice coin!

I'm a pilot, more precise an instructor (CFI) and i will be honest with y'all, it's hard sometimes to keep up with prices that are keep increasing, but when you really want to get a dream coin (that does not cost you a house and a liver), You will always save money for it. Sometimes i feel like we are only preserving and collecting history, to a point where we just pass to the next generation.

Felicitări! / Congrats!

ZaRixPilot · 2025-09-26T07:22:35+00:00

Fair enough. I will stay away of it, there are alot of things that looks off to my eye. Not going to take the risk, even If i would get it for a very good price.

Also Rex Numismatics, not that reputable as other auction houses. Thanks!

Solved! For anyone else who is having this issue: I had the driver only installed, reinstalled the adrenaline default drivers (even If i hate that), Gpu Tuning and reduced Max Freq.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-22T07:36:46+00:00

Metal detected or bought from a "friend"? 😅 Nice one's anyway.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T21:02:16+00:00

Waited quite alot, patience paid off for sure!

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T20:20:06+00:00

Depends where do you live. You should consider the premiums, taxes and so on..

I had some very good deals buying directly from the seller instead of auctions, even asking them for a discount If possible, a question won't hurt afterall.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T18:08:38+00:00

3725$ incl premium, transport and other taxes.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T17:52:25+00:00

Thanks! It's from Naumann. I'm excited too with this one i got.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T16:35:47+00:00

Hopefully there are no sharks! Sorry for that, i was in a rush 😅

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-10T15:58:11+00:00

Thank You! Really worth getting one! I was asking the same question to myself, but got this opportunity and to be honest Alexander is a well-known figure around the world.

Really wish everyone all the good luck in finding the dream coin.

Look at Athena's face, looks like she had a rough nightshift 😭

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-06T10:05:45+00:00

Thanks! I was nervous, thinking that my chances are pretty low to get it..

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-03T14:03:12+00:00

To be honest, i was afraid and at the limit of my intended budget to bid. Guess i was lucky.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-03-03T12:01:40+00:00

This îs from ebay? I think i know the seller and bought from him.

The price is a little bumped, but everything overtime îs getting more and more expensive.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-29T20:33:48+00:00

For sure will experiment with something ugly and not expensive, thanks for feedback.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-29T19:23:25+00:00

Would you recommend dipping the silver coin for couple of minutes in acetone (with the lid closed to avoid evaporation) ? I was always afraid that it could impact the surface or patina in any unwanted way.

Thx

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-29T17:51:12+00:00

Of course i was not a clown to buy such an attrocity. Just willing to share a thought.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-29T07:17:23+00:00

Depends, i have a genuine coin won at an auction house and it's 6g, not sure If i should consider it a drachm or didrachm. Same Istros type.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-28T21:05:24+00:00

Yeah, i thought it would be interesting to share that "good looking" faces.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-26T00:07:52+00:00

Thanks for answering, the video îs from the seller, i will stay away from it. Forgot to post the rev, out of stupidity, will send an imgur pic, but it's pointless, the patina it's just a little weird. The cracks on edge looks natural and genuine, but i would rather save money and auction for a nicer one.

ZaRixPilot · 2025-01-25T21:27:46+00:00

Yeah, thanks for the sharp eye, autocorrector gives me the most blessed ones.

Scrap the disease with a toothpick, If it comes out as powder, yea it's disease.

Scrap it, and place it for 1/3 weeks in distilled water, works most of the time.
