Man, I had to CRANK all my sound settings so that I could barely hear you in my noisy house lol! VERY interesting though

Why might some coins be “in the name of” Alexander III, minted long after his reign? Are these coins less desirable than coins minted directly under him?

I love your channel but it's always so hard to hear even with the volume all the way up, any chance you could up the gain on your mic?

Thanks for the great content

Rhodes has probably the most elegant coins, they are all so fancy looking, they give me a feeling that no other coin does, hard to explain

Are those your hands holding the coins in the video?

A video on which drachma are most commonly faked would be really helpful With so many options on the market, tips on how to spot specific commonly faked coins would be great I honestly don't know which styles to avoid, or if any are more commonly faked at all Thanks for the info

I recently started stacking silver, don't think I'll start collecting ancient coins any time soon but I find your insight into the history of precious metals to be invaluable

Was a coin that was struck "off-center" worth less in the ancient world than a coin that wasn't?
Comment from : @bobtimster62

I have just bought two coins, a silver drahm and a small bronze coin, from two different sellers I weighed both on a calibrated scale The seller listed the bronze coin as having a weight of 563 g I checked it on the scale and got the same value The silver drahm was listed as having a weight of 420 g The reading on the scale was 422 g Is that 002 g difference acceptable, or does that mean the coin is likely to be a fake? I bought the coins from two respected (based on what I read on the cointalk forum) sellers on Vcoins

I have a couple of bronze Alexander lifetime drachma What were they worth in the ancient world? (For example, you said in the video that a silver drachma was typically worth a day's pay)
Comment from : @bobtimster62

It's a very good one I had a fun and interesting look
Comment from : @alexavers

Great video and channel! I think the Alexander III coin is actually a posthumous issue, as these later coins of Alexander feature Zeus with crossed legs I think this one is described in literature as Price 2319, which was struck 290-275 BC on Chios

Jewelry dealer in the town I live in has coins from BC and AD starting price 150 USD
Comment from : @davidknight6842

Thanks for furthering my numismatic education I sort of knew what a drachma was, but you definitely taught me a few things I knew nothing about brbrThe only problem with your videos is I keep feeling the need to buy more coins after watching them You're doing a great job promoting this hobby
