<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 1967201, member: 37707&quot;]He probably got the idea from other price references from around the web. Like this lesser conditioned tet in the same slab type that sold for $345 back in 2010.</p><p><a href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/305731/inm/Ancient-Greek-Syria%3A-138-129-BC-Tetradrachm-NGC-AU-Antiochus-VII-ex%3A-Money-of-the-Bible-(p.38)/snm/Ancient-Greek-Syria/gnm/Ancient-Coinage/lotid/838622" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/305731/inm/Ancient-Greek-Syria%3A-138-129-BC-Tetradrachm-NGC-AU-Antiochus-VII-ex%3A-Money-of-the-Bible-(p.38)/snm/Ancient-Greek-Syria/gnm/Ancient-Coinage/lotid/838622" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/305731/inm/Ancient-Greek-Syria:-138-129-BC-Tetradrachm-NGC-AU-Antiochus-VII-ex:-Money-of-the-Bible-(p.38)/snm/Ancient-Greek-Syria/gnm/Ancient-Coinage/lotid/838622</a></p><p><br /></p><p>or this slightly lesser conditioned tet in the same slab type currently on Ebay for a BIN price of $389 (with the same chemical yellowing)</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Greek-Syrian-Antiochus-VII-NGC-AU-Money-of-the-Bible-2039-/271559531504?_trksid=p2054897.l4275" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Greek-Syrian-Antiochus-VII-NGC-AU-Money-of-the-Bible-2039-/271559531504?_trksid=p2054897.l4275" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ancient-Greek-Syrian-Antiochus-VII-NGC-AU-Money-of-the-Bible-2039-/271559531504?_trksid=p2054897.l4275</a></p><p><br /></p><p>or this much lesser conditioned tet in the same slab type that sold for $195 through Heritage Auctions in 2012</p><p><a href="https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=324&amp;lot=25441" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=324&amp;lot=25441" rel="nofollow">https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=324&amp;lot=25441</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of one&#039;s views on these slabs or the lack of &quot;side views,&quot; the coin is still worth what many people apparently are willing to pay for it. As far as the weight, I would tend to trust NGC&#039;s method and am sure the coin was weighed before encasement. In spite of the lack of info provided on the slab, the few individuals who slabbed these Antiochus VII tets have handled dozens or hundreds more than I ever have and do so for a living. As far as determining authenticity, I would trust their assessment over my own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think $300 is a great estimate in current condition. You might even be able to get a little bit more if advertised to the right crowd, through auction. I would also email the appropriate contact at NGC to see if they would re-slab it at their expense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
