2 more new ancients, can I get a price on these?

Left is Roman republic denarius 155-120 BC
right is247 Syria philippics I, TETRADRACHMOMVF+
I paid $240 for the right one and $56 for the left one.
How did I do?

I just realized my post didn't make sense so I redone it.

The price for republican denarius is fine.

I wouldn't pay $240 for that one even though a lot are sold for that price. No insult intended. We over-pay for some and get really good deals so it always evens out in the end.

Edit: Yeah, it is a very nice coin for sure. I like it.

 

I meant $140 I paid not $240.

 

Yeah, that's more reasonable. lol

 

Nice coins, both well worth the cost.

 

56 and 240. If you're looking to invest you're in the wrong hobby.

 

He paid $140 for the Phillip, he corrected it a couple of messages below.

 

My bad

 

Good price for Republican but I know I sold and still selling some Tetras for cca 30-40€

 

They both look like decent examples, and the princes seem about average for both.

 

Thank you for your replies. I’m not looking to get rich nor are they for sale. I jus want to make sure I paid in the ballpark. My LCS has only 2 trays of ancients so I’m not too sure how well versed he is on the prices. He deals. Mostly with foreign and US. AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

I find that the money spent should not be a factor when bidding/buying coins for one's collection. If in the end your happy with your new treasure, that all what counts

 

I couldn’t agree more, I just want to make sue I’m not being taken when I can use my resources here

 

A factoid you might be interested in: the tetradrachms marked MON VRB were struck by the Rome mint for circulation in Syria. Coins without that mint mark were struck in Antioch.

 

That Philip I Tet is from the Rome & has a S to upper right. A bit special.

 

Nice additions.
