A seller is asking $80 for this coin, I understand the holder is home made but I still would like to buy the coin. The seller is asking $80 is it worth it or am I overpaying?

@Sapyx
Could you help me with this post?
If you don't know the answer to your own question then you need to study up on the area before spending any money on it.
Personally, I'd never consider paying $80 for that (I know nothing about it but it does nothing for me.)

Philistian coin prices are very scattered, so I would like more opinions.
Im not sure what you mean by your second statement, it does nothing to you??
It's not an attractive coin, so it would need to be special in some way. But at $80, that doesn't seem likely. Some of these seem to go for thousands of dollars in not much better condition, so I'd want to understand why this one is $80.
It just strikes me as an inferior example of a coin. The obverse looks like little more than a lump.
Sorry, I'm more helpful with "ID this coin" posts, than "is this a fair price" posts. I'm not really up on what people are currently paying for coins right now.
So I can say with reasonable confidence that, as far as I can tell, the coin is genuine and identified properly.
With less confidence, I can say that I'm seeing in CoinArchives some recent sales of similar coins of the same general type, in better condition, go for US$100 to US$150. So I guess US$80 for this piece is reasonable? Personally, I'd rather pay slightly more, and get a coin with a bit more detail in the obverse portrait. But that's just me.

@Sapyx yes you are right, I would want a coin that can be enjoyed for a long time so I will try to find a better specimen
