Silver Tetradrachm -- Shekel Obverse: Laurerate bust of Melqarth right. Reverse: Eagle standing left on prow; date B(lambda) 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: Nice EF. Coin is much better than the picture. Excellent silver metal with smooth untoned surfaces. Luster in protected areas of obverse and most of reverse field. Excellent centering for these. Full eagle and date on reverse. Good strike on obverse showing clear nose. Just a bit weak in strike of dangling sideburn hair curl and high points of eagle. 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 $500 to $750 with many going over estimate because of the popularity of the type. This coin has a good style Melqarth compared to many and a well defined face. 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 decent 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. Size: 14.1 grams, die axis=0.5, flan 3.2 mm thick, 30 mm in diameter. References: BMC Phoenicia 241/120. All coins have a 14 day return privilege, no questions asked.
