Returning to @panzerman's initial request: overpriced considering how many there are out there:

• Athenian Owls
• Anything with Alexander the Great/Herakles on the Obverse especially from drachms from Kolophon
• Tigranes II Tetradrachms

and: Julius Caesar Elephants - there are no shortage of these but they still get absurd prices relative to other more rare RR coins from roughly same time period.


and for @kevin McGonigal's list of Undervalued coins. there are many in the Asian and Islamic category - my favorite is the Kurzuwan siege coin:

more about this coin here: https://www.sullacoins.com/post/coin-of-the-silk-road

This one a coin that is undervalued: Crawford claims 69 obverse dies (48BC), vs. 750 for Caesar's elephants (49-48 BC).

 

I have one of the Junius Brutus Albinus coins, but I didn't know they were even remotely scarce

Considering he is one of three assassins of Julius Caesar who struck coins it is surprising to me that you can buy them for so much less than the famous elephant.

The CNG Feature Auction 126 has too many of them for me to list them all here...

There is a difference between "very expensive" and "overpriced." If a type in a certain condition normally sells for $500 and one is that condition is offered for $2000, it is overpriced. If a type is extremely rare and highly desirable and one in top condition actually sells for $120,000 hammer price, that does not make it overpriced.

 

It has a die break, clashing on the reverse, a metal flaw, edge marks from a mount (just the fact it was mounted means I wouldn't take it for free) and hairlines, it is nowhere near being in top condition, and is it vastly overpriced.

 

I had no idea either @Bing Here is mine.
