<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1292014, member: 19463&quot;]Chris&#039; post makes a good point.&nbsp; While there might be a market value for the 1st and 3rd coins, most collectors with more than a dozen coins would not touch them at his prices simple because it is too easy to find better ones for little or no more cost.&nbsp; The market for such coins would be to people who have no coins and think anything 1700 years old must be worth money.&nbsp; A few collectors trying to get a coin of each mint or minor variety will see added value in the first coin because it is fully identifiable and not terrible looking.&nbsp; That is the difference between it and #3 which is hardly identifiable and not all that pretty.&nbsp; There are slugs worth less than it so Chris&#039; $1 is probably a fair price even though I would rather have something from a fast food place&#039;s value menu and I&#039;m not hungry.&nbsp; It is hard to place values on coins of this type when you already have more than you want of nicer things.&nbsp; There is no Red Book for ancients and no place you can take a thousand ordinary things and expect a quick sale.&nbsp; If you take these two coins into most coin shops and you will be turned away.&nbsp; I&#039;d buy #2 for a price (I&#039;m not saying I&#039;d pay $20 but that is probably fair).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
