    I edited the condition/numbers to prevent any grading bias. I think I got a decent deal, but am not sure. If I got a decent deal, I can sell it in the for sale area. If not, oh well, haha. What would you price this at? Thanks!

    I have none like this so it's hard for me to give a value. But, if you go to CNG advance search, you get the results of their auctions. From my quick look, I didn't see any quite like this one, but the ones they have listed sold for an average of $130. If you go to the CNG store, the prices are much higher, but so are the grades.

    Really cool control mark.

    No offense, as I am brutally honest. To me its a aVF coin. The softness of strike on the obverse lowering the grade. Not the highest style.

    I am cheap, usually thinking of what I would pay for a coin. I think today, with nice drachms going for $80+, that a tet like this should be $200-250. The deer control mark is really cool.

    I very well could be light, but then again I am cheap.

    If you photo the coin in florescent light, the glare would go away and I could see the surface. As it shows now, the coin looks polished. Also see what looks like tooling scratches in the diagonal crescent behind the ear. They probably gave the strike 4/5.

    Sorry @jwitten I do not like the look of this coin. It is far too shiny. I very much prefer that my ancient coins look...ancient.
