<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2145949, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;m ok calling this coin VF <u>for the type</u>. Hasmonean prutoh are poorly made and poorly preserved. This one exhibits most of the detail on the obverse, and the complete Paleo-Hebrew inscription on the reverse. It also has smooth, clean surfaces. Regardless what grade you give it, it is a desirable coin in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>It certainly is NOT VF when compared to higher standard Greco-Roman issues. If that&#039;s how you grade it, I have to agree with medoraman, G.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not by any means worth the asking price, but neither is it a $10 junk bin coin. I would expect to pay around $30 for it, raw. Neither is the coin pictured in the auction the one you will receive - it&#039;s a sample of the 49 that the dealer has in stock. I don&#039;t care to buy coins sight-unseen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
