<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2467328, member: 76194&quot;]Valuable is a relative thing when it comes to ancients. I have a bronze coin of Philip II that is uncommon enough that you&#039;d be lucky to find one on Vcoins, any auction house, or even Ebay on any given day. I couldn&#039;t say how many there are, only that they come up for sale very infrequently. You&#039;d think it would be worth a fortune then, but you&#039;d be lucky to get more than $70 for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]518273[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just because something is uncommon, or rare,&nbsp; doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s worth a fortune. Not too many people care about Philip II, so this infrequently found coin is worth peanuts, while a very common Mark Antony denarius that you can find a dime a dozen on vcoins, all auction houses, and Ebay, commands $500 plus routinely. Why? Because a lot of people want a Mark Antony coin and are willing to pay a lot for it, even if they are common as dirt (by ancient coins standards), and not too many of them have heard of Philip II, and if they have, could care less about this young Augustus.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] it may very well be that OP&#039;s coin is very unusual or uncommon, but value will mostly depend on how much people want one. I honestly couldn&#039;t say with that coin. OP&#039;s coin is certainly beautiful and intriguing regardless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
