<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3834841, member: 82549&quot;]The market for ancients is weird because it&#039;s so specialized. In general, an ancient coin is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Seems like a flippant answer, but that&#039;s more or less how it is with less-than-mint state ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of the OP, there is a lot of nice detail even though the coins has porous surfaces. Yes, it&#039;s been stripped recently, but it will darken nicely over time. I like it. I&#039;d be thrilled if someone offered me $20 for it and happy if they offered $10--even though some dealers on VCoins would probably ask $100 for it--but I wouldn&#039;t sell it either way. To me, considering the history wrapped up in that coin, it&#039;s priceless. Keep it and start reading up on Alexander the Great and what happened to his empire after his death.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
