<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 2739984, member: 75641"][USER=85314]@1913nickel[/USER] Also, I concur in that I think you did okay for your C$48. I have a few Alex III bronzes and even in Roman Imperial bronze which is my main area, it has taken me a few years of always looking and buying to get a feel for prices for certain rulers, series, issues. Some folks will always be much pricier than others, sometimes you find a person who has a lot of coins that they do not have the time or inclination to really research because it is not worth their hourly rate to deal with them. Like [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] mentioned, he bought a whole lot of coins for one coin within that lot. You may find yourself buying coins from people in that situation who have duplicates or no interest in the remainder of the lot and are just trying to recoup some of their initial outlay for the whole lot. You can find many deals offered to you in those situations. Helpful advice from people here is good too in that you can get pointed in the direction of other collectors who can help you with your interest and dealers who can help and sell you things to develop your collection. Good luck on future ancients![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
