<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1771518, member: 19463&quot;]ACSearch records mostly full service, high end dealers who only sell really nice examples of such things as Late Roman bronzes.&nbsp; Yours is a nice coin to people like me but would not be cataloged as a separate lot by 90% of the &#039;name&#039; dealers.&nbsp; I suspect CNG or the like would be happy to sell 10% of my collection but would either refuse the rest or put them in a big lot at the back of the book sold &#039;as is&#039;.&nbsp; Your coin strikes me as worth about what you paid due to the uneven patina and, especially, the bare brass at reverse bottom.&nbsp; Given perfect surfaces (don&#039;t try to clean it!!!), it would be a super coin.&nbsp; As is, it is only something guys like us will love.&nbsp; Compare the surfaces on the AC Search examples.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d say they are worth 2 x to 3x your coin but not 8x.&nbsp; Obviously there are people out there who will pay 8x just like there are US collectors that pay 8x for a MS66 over a MS65.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
