So I bought this pair of coins along with a few silver half crowns at a Bazaar in Afghanistan. I've had them in storage for around 10 years. I finally dug them out and looked into researching their origin.

Quite surprising to reveal they're over 2000 years old and probably circulated in the area I purchased them.

My question is how much could I fetch for the pair and if it would be worth selling. I'm happy to keep them but willing to sell if it's worth the admin.

One of the coins is identified on the site (Antimachos 1) and is referenced at 100 rare. The other is not registered as identified on the site at all. All I know is that it's a variation of the spelling Agothocles.

Any information/valuation would be much appreciated.

In my eyes both appear to be modern copies.

I agree. Also the fact that they were bought at a bazaar in Afghanistan right away leads to questioning their authenticity.

I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
