<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1673775, member: 19463&quot;]Condition and demand are everything in ancients.&nbsp; There are more Roma head horse reverse denarii than will support high prices for mid grade coins.&nbsp; 155 BC is early compared to some but the off center reverse outweighs that.&nbsp; $80 strikes me a retail from a dealer who will guarantee the coin and assumes the surfaces are good (not scratched up or polished).&nbsp; If you sell it to a dealer, I doubt you will get quite that much.&nbsp; I do not have this particular moneyer (Natta) but he is not on any want list I might create because there are a lot of them and I&#039;m not trying to get them all.&nbsp; I would buy the coin at the right price but I would expect a bargain.&nbsp; I suspect that my attitude would be common among potential buyers.&nbsp; Ancients do not have a fixed market guide as do US coins so the value would depend on who was buying and selling and which party liked the coin better.&nbsp; The loss of Victory driving the chariot would make this a less desirable item to me.&nbsp; If the coin were perfectly centered boldly struck and mint state, it might bring hundreds more.&nbsp; It is not.&nbsp; How much is it worth to you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
