[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1300932, member: 26302"]Personally I would think the bottom is worth 4x as much as the top. I would say this for any ancient unless the rarity of owning any was such a rarity. Having both would be my preference of course, :), but of course the second would be preferable. Our goal is to learn from coins, and with incomplete and worn legends, how can you possibly learn as much as on the other coin? I am far from a condition snob, and absent money concerns probably would choose my ancients over an Eide Mar denari. However, there is also an acceptable condition that we should strive for if possible, and the new coin meets that, while sadly your first coin does not. I have been getting into these more, ever since the Kushans are today associated with the greater Yuezhi of Chinese history, and have been lucky to get some great lots of the various denominations of Soter Megas lately.
