Coin Drought Over

[oh my florin]

And as they say when it rains it pours. These lovely coins are the latest additions to my collection which has had a bit of a drought over the last half a year.

The first addition is this Alexander the Great Tetradrachm of Pella, the capital of Macedonia. Grading at EF this is the finest example of this type I have seen excluding one which is a definite posthumous strike. The lightning bolt is the most sought after mint mark from this mint and often commands a strong premium.

The second addition is also an Alexander the Great Tet of Pella. It is graded by NGC as MS with 5/5 Strike and 4/5 Surfaces. This would be the finest that I have seen of this type. The bee on a flower mint mark is also highly sought after and attracts a moderate premium.

Exceptionally excited to add these lovely coins to my collection. Most certainly the trophy coins of my collection.

With coins like that you're going to have to change your handle to "Oh My Tetradrachm"!

Beautiful coins. Congratulations!
