I am not familiar with Bronze coins - should this one be silvered like this?
How much for it?

It is a Pyrrhos coin 24mm issued 278-276 probably in Syracuse or at least Italy.

Thanks

What you think is silvering is just the sheen from the patina.

So this is just the lighting?

They are asking USD1000 for this - is it that rare?

Appreciate honest help here! Been buying alot lately which is why I am so prolific on all subjects Greek.

Need a Prryhus for my collection - suspect I am a buyer that all love........

Alex,

this coin is listed R3 in my copy of Montenegro "Monete di Italia antica e Magna Grecia"; approximate value 700 $US in VF (1996).

Found also this on Coinarchives (perhaps with a different symbol behind Phthia's head).

[DEAD LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN]

Estimate 950 CHF, realized price 760 CHF (2003).

Regards
Luigi
