I got an offer to buy this coin from an ebay user.
What do you think?

Not a fan. Why are you considering this coin in particular?

That coin is pretty junky...you can get lots of offers on ebay and they are usually not doing you any favors; but the price is not crazy, so I assume the offer is not terrible. For comparison though, a much better example for just a little more money--

I like the patina after the gunk is removed, but after Victor posted a better one I think I will pass.

There are few people, on this forum or elsewhere, that would actually recommend buying ancient coins off of ebay. There's simply far too many pitfalls, especially when it comes to ancients-newbies buying coins from sellers they do not already know. Marketplaces like VCoins (which is where the coin ictor posted is being offered) are more trustworthy.

And yet there are some of us who are reputable and actively use ebay as their route to selling off their excess from their collection. These are coins where there is no real viable alternate route to selling.
