These coins aren't cheap, this coin has some wear, but has enough detail of the coin, nice pick up, not sure on price, maybe $100..

Another nice coin even worn as it is. I picked up one of these a few months ago for around $50 (I'm not at home so I can't check my catalog), but I've seen these go for much higher.

Good info. I'm in this one at $50 so guess I didn't over pay.

Apollonia Pontica
Silver Diobol
450 - 400 BC
11.24 mm
1.26 grams
Obverse: Anchor, "A" in field to left, crayfish to right
Reverse: Laureate head of Apollo facing

Apollonia-Pontika,-Thrace,-450---404-B.c.

NOTE => I paid $40 from Ancient Treasures (ummm, but then the coin was verified authentic by Sear for more than the coin is worth!! => tack-on another $50) ... so now the coin is worth $90 in the stevex6 "I'm never gonna sell these coins" collection!!

Nice coin Steve, great detail. Being an old sailor, I bought this one because of the ship's anchor on reverse.

This one I don't have but would absolutely love. I am like steve and have a small diobol.

I would love one like you have but I want it Super condition and they often have those not so super prices. For what you paid for yours I think you did very well-and Bing I think you might have done even a little better.
