    Hello all.

    I recently purchased this coin for $95 on eBay. It seems to be in pretty good condition but I can't find any information in regards to value of this coin. I was hoping you all could give me some more information about its value and whether it appears authentic and where and when it was minted.

    Thank you all for looking

    Time of Augustus, Macedon, Philippi, AE19mm (Semis).

    Obv: VIC AVG, Nike standing left on globe, holding wreath and palm
    Rev: COHOR PRAE PHIL around three military standards.

    SNG ANS 677; SNG Copenhagen 305; BMC 23, SGI 32; RPC 1651.


    Fairly common coin. Cant give value as we've mentioned before. You pay $95 for it and the next person who buys it may pay no more then $50. Thats the funny thing with ancients.

    Its a nice coin for the type none the less.

    Nice coin , I think you paid a fair price . But like Civil War Tokens prices can be all over the map on ebay .
