Here are 10 purchases (all but one at auction) for < $25 (not including shipping). Pleasantly worn denarii of the adoptive emperors can be had for < $25. Here are two I obtained for that price: [ATTACH=full]1213648[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213655[/ATTACH] Billion antoniniani of the third century are frequently < $25.

These two were part of a group of seven I purchased for about $15 each: [ATTACH=full]1213669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213668[/ATTACH] Provincial bronzes can be obtained for that price, too: [ATTACH=full]1213659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213662[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
