<p>[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7887928, member: 118780"]From what I've seen, it depends on the coin. The most popular ones that everyone's heard of are going for very high prices. Lysimachos, Ptolemy elephant headdress, EF Alexanders, Demetrios tets, etc are all going high. But, many of the less famous ones aren't going that high. For example, I've picked up several VF and gVF Alexander tets lately for reasonable prices. Even my Seleukos tet wasn't too bad, since it was the war elephants one and not the Susa Victory coins that are more popular. Similarly, I've picked up Antiochos I Soter and Ptolemy II Philadelphos tets for reasonable amounts since they're not as popular.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of Greek bronze, check out decent quality Alexander shield coins. One went for over 600 CHF at the latest Leu. They've all been going for very strong prices lately. In the past I wouldn't pay more than 100 dollars/Euros/CHF for a Greek bronze, and that's becoming a lot tougher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
