That's a nice coin Finn,
The writing on the rims reminds me of the design on the rims the British Trade Dollar.
And it is much prettier than the late Sassanian skeleton looking dudes.

PCGS sometimes grades more world coins than NGC cause some are ineligible types at NGC like the the silver/gold Japan bars.

It depend, their prices are very similar to each other, and most people just pick one side or the other for the different look of the slabs

NGC photos are bad , sellers can take way better pictures.

If you want to compare pictures usually PCGS has better picture.

This is a very bad fake with lots of casting bubbles.

For comparison here's my example

Sorry I know this is the wrong forum, but I just wanted to show the folks in the ancient coin forum.

Okay this shocked me today,I thought it was only the US and European companies making cast fakes of these coins I didn't know that China was involved. I knew that they faked those dragon dollars and other modern stuff but even ancients...?

An advice I would give them is don't believe in all eBay listings! Some of them are intended at newbies in the field which can:
1) Significantly inflate the value of a coin
2) Fraud the rarity of the coin with catchy headings (e.g. "Super Rare", "Scarce",etc.)
3) Lie about the authenticity of the coin accompanied by interesting background stories (e.g. "I am not a collector or dealer, unknown authenticity", "Got these passed down") * I'm not saying that all listings with these phrases will be untrustworthy, some sellers may be honest *

Short: Make sure you are buying from a trustworthy source, that offers some sort of guarantee to the buyer. This can provide comfort to the mind when something happens with the coin when you actually get it in hand.

Way to go, ancients are pretty fun to collect cause you cannot foretell what you will encounter it could be any shape or topic.
Nice starter coins.

That's a pretty coin. I like the loin cloak on herakles.
Finn tricky question for you how do you tell apart the depiction of Zeus and Baal on coins since this coin comes from around the time when Baal was still depicted on coins?

The surface on the obverse is awesome looking, not corroded as most I have seen.
The details on the reverse as well as the obverse is very sharp.

Overall very nice coin.
