<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4759521, member: 19463&quot;]My coin is NOT the same as the one Al posted but makes a point that there are many small variations with many ancient coin types.&nbsp; I suspect some here will not see and many will not care for the difference.&nbsp; Take care when reading very specialized books that give rarity ratings.&nbsp; If you are selling a rare minor variation, you need to find two people who care and will bid against each other.&nbsp; Mine was $45 from a dealer not at all known for being low priced.&nbsp; To him, the fact that young Philip seemed to have acne (or is that a serious surface problem?) made this a coin to move on to a collector looking for budget coins.&nbsp; Compare the two coins and how much you care about the first one having a more rare minor difference.&nbsp; Considering wear, strike, centering AND that difference, would you pay the $150 that Al suggested?&nbsp; The seller hopes you will and that there is a second bidder also willing to drive up the price.&nbsp; For me? I&#039;ll keep my coin and consider it close enough because I am not addicted to rarity numbers based on minutia.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1161030[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
