Who is an ancient coin expert?

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

Okay, this one may be a tough one: I am looking for an authentic ancient Macedonia(n) coin that has a honey bee on it. Where do I even begin to look? I have found replicas and some claiming to be real on Ebay, but I am not trusting Ebay on this one. I did a quick Google search and after scrolling and reading for over an hour gave up. I want to find this coin to make a charm for a necklace; would like to get it done by Valentine's Day. Thanks for any help.

Thanks and I am sure they have an expert standing by to authenticate. LOL

Glenn Simonelli is another resource. I believe he is still in upper state NY as a teacher. Email him with what you are looking for and he will likely be able to help.

Yes they would have had an expert authenticate before they purchased it.
If they don't have one they'll be able to give you a lead on where to get one.
This is a high end pawn shop I've done business with.
(You may have heard of them).

Yea, it's pretty cool.

How much would a coin like this cost... Ballpark figure.

I don't know, but I'd bet the guys at the pawn shop would know or have a real good feeling for it.
I'm interested myself, but don't want to call.
Two calls for a coin like this in one day and they would think we were funnin with them and not take the 2nd call.
Maybe

if your using it for a charm on a necklace than why wouldn't a replica work?

It would. But that just isn't how I do things. If I find that an authentic one is cost prohibitive, I will most like, either change ideas or go w/ the replica.
