Nice coins. Not my collecting area, but I believe those are fair prices.
CNG's research tabs are great for seeing what similar coins went for (of course most of the coins listed were sold through auctions, not from CNG's Coin Shop). If you're not familiar with it:
If you go to cngcoins.com, click on "Research Sold Items" at right, then do a search on "Nero tetradrachm Egypt" you'll get 211 hits, split between CNG's Coin Shop (17), EAuctions (169), and Printed Auctions (25). Of course not all are matches for your exact coin types, but I think you can easily find comparable coins and see what they went for.

Not my area either but I'm gonnah say, they are both fair prices, If they're from the same seller you could try offering $100-$110 for both though....

hey can be had cheaper with some patience, but those prices seem fine, especially for the first one, which depicts Augustus on the other side.

For that price you could get a real Greek tetradrachm. Or a really nice 2nd/3rd century antioch tet.

Probably Good or very Good at best and possibly with test cuts of strike weakness. But, I agree, If you're willing to put in $150-$200 then you can get a decent quality coin, Alexander the Great or Ptolemic should be pretty easy at that price. Good luck  |

Hey, are you still interested in buying them? I was browsing coins today on VCoins and see that they're both being sold by MNS. John is a pretty reasonable guy so as long as they're not on fixed consignment he should be able to work with you. Also incase you didn't know they're have a 10% off sale right now... Good Luck |
