<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3882081, member: 44316"]My local US-coin dealer rarely gets any ancients, even though he evaluates many estate collections. My area of the world is more interested in silver dollars and gold. So, when he sees a few ancients (almost always mediocre late Roman bronze) in a collection he values them at zero. I am the only guy remotely interested in ancients that he knows. So, he can put any price on them and hope a tourist decides to buy. But, he has all the "room" to bargain. If a US dealer puts $30 on an ancient coin and you can demonstrate you know it is a $5 coin, he might well sell it to you for $5.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
