Anyone want to buy $500 worth of packaging (a few Severans included)

Good grief!

So it's basically $170 in coins + a $15 presentation box, and that somehow = $631.60? Yikes!

 

$170? I think those six denarii are worth more than $30 each.

I agree, they're asking a lot for pretty packaging. However, it's not totally horrible, especially since the target market is someone who knows nothing about ancient coins and who probably doesn't intend to learn much about them.

 

I don't know. Some of them seem quite corroded. Would love to see the reverses, but I'll guess it's probably the most common types for each of the person's depicted on the coins.

 

It says "9 available" and "Coin type and grade may vary somewhat from image" LOL
pro: enough sets for both of us
con: you won't get the coins pictured

....why am I posting on the dark side of CT?

 

"You won't get the coin pictured":

TRANSLATION: "This is the actual coin you get"

 

Exactly... 6 of them!!!!!!

 

I've actually seen some of those sets in person. The coins don't really look bad, you won't get anything thats horrible if anything I would say they are decent. It is still overpriced though, you can buy a nice tray for $40 or so to display them.

 

i saw this awhile back.. "capital" idea.

 

I think that's roughly what I'd put the box, Air-tites, and included historical material at. Somewhere around $40-60 for the packaging sounds right, assuming it's one of those nice hardwood veneer presentation boxes. If the coins are worth $200 altogether, then $275 for the whole lot wouldn't be crazy.
