josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 7:13 pm I was the only bidder for this coin and won it for $4.99 with shipping.It is solid silver 27mm and 13.70g. It is very convex on the obverse and very worn. The reverse is protected because it is concave and in good shape.It reminds me on a Celtic imitation coin but am not able to identify it.Is this identified correctly in the listing. Thanks Josephhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Samothrace...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 7:59 pm No clue what the listing title means; these are Celtic tetradrachms, from uncertain tribes near the Danbue and imitating Philip III of Macedon. They are common, but not cheap; generally $80-150. If it's real, you got the deal of the century! I posted one about two weeks back: http://goccf.com/t/301954&SearchTerms=Celt Report this Post to the Staff
josephrg Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/18/2017 8:12 pm The coin is much better than the pictures .I thought the coin was silver but didn't know it was so heavy until I received it. Seems like this was a true estate liquidation. I guess everybody get lucky once in a while. Report this Post to the Staff
