You should post this in the Ancients forum. Also, any chance we could see pictures of the reverse?

Hello,

I am interested in an Otho Denarius coin I found on ebay. The coin is appealing. it doesn't have the typical polished look that many coins from this period have. Do you have an idea of what it's worth?

Please let me know your thoughts.

As this link suggests, value for denarii of Otho in various grades etc can be all over the place. My worn denarius was overpriced in my opinion (over $600 shipped) and it really depends on what you (and the 'market-place') consider a fair price within your budget. Obviously the seller you posted has his idea but I think that example is overpriced as well.

Agreed, I think this one is way overpriced. I would pass.
