The value of a Cleopatra coin can vary significantly depending on several factors, including:
- Type of coin: Different denominations and compositions (bronze, silver alloy, etc.) affect the value.
- Condition: The state of preservation (wear, flaws, etc.) greatly influences the price.
- Historical Significance/Rarity: While Cleopatra’s coins are generally historically significant, the specific type and any unique attributes can contribute to rarity and value.
- Certification and Grading: Professionally graded and authenticated coins often fetch higher prices.
Based on recent market information, Cleopatra coin values span a wide range:
- Bronze coins: Some uncertified bronze coins featuring Cleopatra have been listed for prices around $250 USD. Bronze coins with uncertain attribution to Cleopatra can be valued even lower, around $100.
- Silver alloy (Tetradrachm) coins: These coins, especially those in better condition, can command much higher prices.
– A Cleopatra VII & Marc Antony AR Tetradrachm certified as “Good” condition by NGC recently sold for $3876 USD.
– Another in “Very Good” condition sold for $6500 USD.
– Generally, these types of coins in “extremely fine” specimens can go for under $50,000, while “decent” specimens sell for well under $1,000.
- Other denominations: Coins from the Ptolemaic Kingdom featuring Cleopatra, such as an authentic Æ 15mm, have been listed for around $2200 USD.
- Very rare or high-grade coins: Some exceptional specimens of Cleopatra coins have sold for as much as $215,000.
Note: Be aware that the age of a coin is not the sole determinant of its value. Factors like rarity, condition, and aesthetic appeal can be more important than age alone, especially with ancient coins that may be common or of lower quality.
If you have a Cleopatra coin and wish to determine its specific value, it’s recommended to:
- Seek professional appraisal: Reputable appraisers specializing in ancient coins can accurately assess your coin’s condition, authenticity, and market value.
- Research recent sales of similar coins: Explore online marketplaces and auction results for comparable coins to get a sense of current market prices.
