<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3838733, member: 97383&quot;]zumbly, Your small bronze for $80 sure looks like a super bargain <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The ancient coin market works in cycles like all other markets, &amp; no doubt the market for ancient coins 10 years ago was much stronger than it is today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Many of the coins I bought 10-15 years ago would be losers on the auction circuit today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Many factors beyond our control influence markets for better or worse. I believe we are still in a major slump. One example I&#039;d like to point out is <b>CNG Auction 442</b>.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1019179[/ATTACH] </p><p>This spectacular offering of Valerianic coinage last April, in my opinion, did poorly despite being well advertised. There were many rarities in this collection that sold for peanuts. I&#039;m not a serious collector of coins from this era but I know many <b>CT</b> members are. Yet I don&#039;t recall anyone posting a coin from this auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
