I ended up letting it pass. It went for $300 bid, but after adding in the buyer's premium, total price was $352.50

I will keep on searching...

Hey Manning,

Keep an eye on ebay as well as vcoins. The right one will come along soon!

My brother got one a while back for $100 and it was in pretty good condition. He got it from a seller on ebay. I can ask him the name of that seller, maybe they have another one. :)

I think when I bought mine as a gift I paid somewhere on the order of $75. I thought it was a mega deal at the time. I certainly dont think the coin is worth $400. Maybe $200. I suppose its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

They are different coins...
You must see carefully the position of the lituus in the center of the coin...
In one of the samples is to right and in another is to left...
You must see that there is a little "X" in the middle of the coin reverse...
WHY?
There are several theories, but perhaps the reason is because some of them are restrikes during the civil war of year 69 of one type very usual and with no "political danger" in that very dangerous "year of the four emperors"
