Thanks for the reply! I remember seeing that example posted elsewhere and a friend tried to bid on it, I was pretty surprised it went that low, I guess it depends on the auction or buyer 

Good evening everyone. I wanted to make this post for evaluations on this Ptolemy I Soter Tetradrachm. I know the type is definitely pretty rare, but since there is a substantial amount of damage it could take away from the value quite a lot, Here's NGC's photo

Apparently this type can range from 15,000USD to 35,000USD. I'm not sure what this is worth since it appears to have been chipped in antiquity, and is missing lettering.

Hello everyone! The topic I chose today was ancient African coins. 

I own a very nice Numidian bronze coined minted under Massinissa or his son Micipsa.

Micipsa(?) Numidia, Northwest Africa AE Unit. 2nd or 1st Century BC

Info from Numidia:

Numidia was the ancient kingdom of the Numidians located in northwest Africa, initially comprising the territory that now makes up modern-day Algeria, but later expanding across what is today known as Tunisia, Libya, and some parts of Morocco

Info about Massinissa:

Massinissa was an ancient Numidian king best known for leading a federation of Massylii Berber tribes during the Second Punic War, ultimately uniting them into a kingdom that became a major regional power in North Africa.

Hello all

So recently i have been looking on eBay for drachms, and so happen to find this.
