DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 1:04 pm This type tends to be valuable, and there are copies out there. What's the weight? I don't know enough about these coins to really know the stylistic differences of the chariot and horse. One thing I don't understand is the raised rim around the side with the rabbit. I don't see this on verified examples. Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 8:03 pm If real, this is something that needs to be shown to an expert. From the photo alone, I would not buy it. I'm nowhere near expert in coins of this bracket but the style does not strike me as just right. I'm always suspicious of a very high end coin in the hands of someone who does not know what they have. If it is to be sold, I'd consign it to CNG or equivalent. They will either get more for it if real or return it as a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
