[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2715343, member: 39084"]Your question is a fairly common one from newcomers to this site. You'll probably think the answers you get aren't helpful, but in reality they are. First, rarity is common among ancient coins. By itself, rarity isn't worth much. You may find this statement hard to believe, but it's accurate. There are any number of very rare ancient coins that aren't worth more than $20 - $30 in the market. A coin's historical significance is one criteria in determining its value. Another is condition (yours is in somewhat poor condition even for an ancient coin). Artistic quality of the devices (the portrait on the obverse, the items illustrated on the reverse) also help determine value. The best thing to do is to research this coin for yourself at acsearch.info, using the information provided by contributors to this thread.[/QUOTE]
