<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4971025, member: 19463&quot;]We have to realize that there is no standardization in ancient coin prices.&nbsp; I buy very few coins from VCoins because most of the dealers there are overpriced compared to other dealers I know from shows.&nbsp; The fact is there are many reasonable VCoins dealers as well as the higher priced bunch --- just like on eBay or at shows.&nbsp; I would buy neither coin for the price quoted simply because I prefer better surfaces.&nbsp; Opinions on what makes a pleasing coin varies. I agree there is a &#039;horned&#039; tax and I would not have paid this much for most types or one with a weaker horn. </p><p>$49</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1194691[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I value the one below higher since it includes ELAGAB in the reverse legend making it worth the $50 I paid.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1194692[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold this one to someone and kept the one with some tone.&nbsp; I suspect many people here would have made the opposite choice.&nbsp; While I am no fan of bright and shiny coins, I also preferred the reverse style.&nbsp; This one was also $50 a few years earlier than the toned one.&nbsp; Does someone here now own this last one?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1194693[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
