Bob, you never cease to amaze me. This is a type that I've not seen before. How did you ever find this?

It looked familiar. I think I have Steve (Finn) to thank...a few months back he had a challenging one that had me looking at Melita coins for a match. I probably first spotted these types while looking at coins from there.

If it were fake (I don't think it is either) would that make it a Maltese fal coin?

Oh, Irbguy. I, mean, wow. I was going to use the little laughing emoticon, but after reading "Maltese fal coin," he's unresponsive:  Edited by Kamnaskires

I know I should apologize for that, but it was necessarily fowl.

These guys are having too much fun. Sadly, it's a fairly common Tut-Cut-D-Chez token.
That's from the punverse side.

Not quite. It is a variant of the scarce Cut-Tut-D-Chez jeton. |

It's always a tough call with ancients, especially uncommon ones from obscure regions, compared to Rome or Athens or Alexandria. Yours is a little rougher than the examples that brought over €200, but it should still be fairly valuable, as it clearly is not a common coin. The trick is to find a buyer for a coin. List it for a fixed price on a website like vcoins, and it might sit for years before someone comes along looking for it. But, put it up on ebay for an auction, and you'll get 5 bidders willing to pay $10, 2 willing to pay $25-50, and it will stop there because 7 days is not enough time to find more than one bidder willing to pay over $100 for an obscure coin.

Stick it up on ebay with a fixed price plus best offer. It may take time but eventually you'll find the right buyer. |
