Silver Tetradrachm -- Shekel Obverse: Laurerate bust of Melqarth right. Reverse: Eagle standing left on prow; date (gamma)I and club to left of Eagle; Phoenician letter between legs; monograms to right. This type of coin is considered to be similar to the "30 pieces of silver" paid to Judas to betray Jesus. Condition: Near EF, Good VF+. Coin is much better than the picture. Medium silver toning with slightly rough surfaces, more so on the obverse, but not that detracting to the naked eye. Excellent centering for these. Full eagle and date on reverse. Interesting somewhat circular die break on reverse with much better detail at edges. Good strike on obverse showing clear nose. All in all, a very nice example of this coin. Valuation: Why Valuation? Comparing this coin to the other similar types in CNG catalogs, I found many similar condition coins to be estimated at $400 to $500 with many going over estimate because of the popularity of the type. The surface of this coin is better than many of this type that have been over cleaned with acid causing etching and soft details. This coin has a hard original surface which looks better than an acid etched coin. All in all, the coin at auction is a very nice example of a classic Greek coin.
