 Steve, you should feel good about that coin--less wear and a lot of nice detail! |

Yeah Steve, that's what I was talking about. I've seen them go for between 200-400 bucks depending on detail, so you have nothing to be bummed about. Very nice coin. And w00zi, you did very well on that purchase I believe. I most certainly would pay that indeed!  |

I bought this one some time back. It had a ticket price of >$400. I had done some work for the dealer and had some store credit so only paid half that.  Martin |

Now I am looking at some really nice ancient Greek coinage. You just help enjoying the fresh artwork on these!

This series has shown better than most the effect of quality on price. We have seen small amounts of wear, strike and style quality can make a great difference in price with ancients. That's why it is so hard to give 'values' when posters ask us what their coin is worth.

Does anyone notice what's odd about the obverse on mine that is different from the others posted in this form? Edited by w00zi

Your con in the OP has the heads in the opposite orientation. This happens quite a bit with this series.
Doug's coin has the eagle facing the other way. I believe this to be scarcer.

I believe the OP type with the right head inverted is slightly more rare but carries little or no premium since so few people collect these as a set. Similarly, the Eagle right is a lot rarer but few care. I did but the reason I won the coin was the poor obverse style scared off other bidders rather than my bidding a high amount. One nice thing about these compared to many facing portrait coins is that the noses wore well before the face went flat and ugly so even coins grading Fine can be attractive. We should also mention that these come in several fractional denominations down to hat I believe should be called a 1/12 stater not really knowing what they were called in the day. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/do...ac64ist.html |
