<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1999998, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree with TIF regarding pricing a coin when you are seeking to buy a specific type small Greek bronzes have to have something going for them to be worth anything in the grade shown in the photo.&nbsp; Being identifiable is worth something but I would not pay even $5-10 for a low grade, generic Greek bronze.&nbsp; The poor centering and poor surfaces make a coin type of no particular interest worth what I would call the minimum nuisance value of any particular dealer.&nbsp; This varies from dealer to dealer (some sell nothing under $100).&nbsp; If you are looking for this specific issue, you will have to pay more, but for most of us, this will be considered a junk box bronze.&nbsp; I do not have the type but will show three pulled from boxes for $8, $15 and $20 (in order shown) to give the idea.&nbsp; I expect readable legends, am hard on overcleaned coins with poor surfaces and am really hard on those losing major parts (the chin) to centering.&nbsp; Sometimes we say &#039;Condition is everything&#039; but I believe the price would depend more on who is selling the coin than on the coin itself. Who disagrees?&nbsp; Am I being too hard on the coin?&nbsp; How much would others pay?&nbsp; </p><p>Antiochus IV AE13</p><p>[ATTACH=full]358335[/ATTACH] </p><p>Alexander Balas AE18</p><p>[ATTACH=full]358336[/ATTACH] </p><p>Antiochus IX AE 19</p><p>[ATTACH=full]358337[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
