    Are these coins traditionally weak on some part of the design? Most that I have seen don't show a full image on both the obverse and reverse...

    I suppose someone should mention that these are Illyrian drachms, early 3rd-century BC. In my opinion, $11 is about right for the coin in the OP - many of the varieties seem very common and as with all coins, the better the grade, the higher the price.
