I am looking to buy one of these very collectable and rare coins; the reason they are so collectable is that being nearly 2,500 years old

a> there are very few left survivng
b> they have a huge amount of history as in ancient greek life, they would put an obol on the eye of the dead so that the dead person could cross the Stygian marshes (by paying the boatman Charon) and not have to wait for 100 years.

Does anyone have any idea of what it would cost me to buy one of these?

Thanks
