That coin is so over priced. I picked a EF (Vorz) one up in Kunker Auction for good price. I had it graded/ turned from a German graded EF to a US graded MS-63!!!!! Imagine what it would go for in that grade. The Deutsches Neu Guinea AV 20/ 10 Marks 1895 are really nice!

Let's imagine a meeting of the ancient council of Sestos as they consider the motion to use the Ithyphallic herm as the obverse of the city's coinage...

Even if this is not the coin I cannot resist posting it as a possibility.

Unstruck

Unstruck Judaean bronze planchet which dates to the Second Temple Period, Hasmonean to Herodian times (135-4 BC). 7.6 x 8.8 mm, 0.42 grams.

Hendin comments, "According to Rabbinic law in ancient times, an unstruck coin had value--but only the market value of the metal, not the actual value of the coin if it had been struck."
