Whats this worth? Pamphylia, Side AR Tetradrachm Ch VF NGC

Hey, I would really like to get into ancients I have one (a cheap on I picked up in Israel)...I really kind of like this, and I would prefer certified coins (my eyes are not yet keen to the fake ancients like I am with US coins)...

(I have no idea what its worth though lol)

 

I think thats rather pricey but I might be wrong.

 

I dont claim to be a "ancient" expert.But for one,their both NGC graded,so their authentic,and 2 I think the price for those is about right for retail.The larger the piece,& the more detail on it,the more the price.They both are lovely pieces overall,with great detail.it all depends on how much your looking to spend.

 

Believe it or not I used to own an Alexander The Great Drachm and it sold for only £16, which was disappointing but I wasn't very bothered. Those coins are very beautiful but you know what dealers on Ebay are like, they charge over the top!

 

Well those are three of the many coins that really caught my eye, and I'm looking for a direction thank you for your help , and I meant that I wouldn't buy raw yet but I know NGC is guaranteed, which one of these would you get?

 

Buy English hammered, its much better!

 

What's that?

 

What would you offer for the: 129 BC-Yr.183 SYRIA DEMETRIOS II TYRE AR SHEKEL NGC VF??
and I also like that gold one, but it lacks detail and the finer ones were much more expensive.
How can I figure out the worth of these coins? I know my sources for US coins but not ancient

 

This is the most similar I could find to it, but its not the same..

Go on Ebay and type in 'Edward The Confessor Penny'.

Saxon pennies

 

This was most simillar to the Pamphylia one

I would go for the syria demetrios II it is rather larger in size,the detail is great and the bird on the reverse I just couldnt look away.I did like the other one,but it lacked as much detail.Plus with coinsplus you can make an offer.I would go for the price of the other or less,just to set the waters.good luck for any choice you make.

 

What he said!

 

Thank you very much, I just offered $300.00 to start the negotiation, thanks guys!

 

While I can't tell you if these are good prices, since I collect the low end stuff, you don't need to just stick with slabbed coins to be sure of authenticity. There are plenty of reputable dealers that offer lifetime guarantees. Most of them are found on Vcoins, which requires all of its members to have this policy. I'd recommend looking up "Pamphylia Tetradrachm" there to see what you find in order to get an idea of the price range for this coin (though remember to check "match all words").

 

Goodluck with it, its a nice coin.

 

Well I made the offer for $300, and the guy raised his price to $569.00 and the real shame is I was willing to pay the $469.00...strange?

 

I'd leave it and look elsewhere, oh well theres plenty more coins out there like it.

 

What do you think of this one? Strike as well as look and surfaces look weaker to me...http://www.vcoins.com/ancient/eukratides/store/viewitem.asp?idProduct=1139
