That's a matter of opinion. The "market value", if there is anything like that, would probably be a bit lower, but on the other hand, you got an interesting, more than 1700 year old coin for 20 bucks. That can't be all too bad, right?

I do not really understand what you want to tell me with that link. That is an EF coin (still I think the price is too high) while yours is just about fine, moreover it is overcleaned and partially broken.

There's very little silver indeed in these; they're best thought of as AE's rather than debased AR.
