<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1984373, member: 19463&quot;]Asses seemed to be a commonly spent denomination in the 1st century AD so we have a lot of worn &#039;slot fillers&#039; but high grade ones are harder to find.&nbsp; Mine was considered beneath the notice of most collectors in 1988 when I bought it from an estate sale for $16.&nbsp; My deceased friend, and I, liked it for the red color.&nbsp; Today, it seems nicer than then.&nbsp; The interest in low grade 12 Caesar coins has increased in this quarter century.&nbsp;&nbsp; I remember that day since I bought 11 coins between $10 and $50 making it the most I had ever spent at a time up to that day.&nbsp; Thinking back, I should have bought a few more.&nbsp; It is not everyday you get invited to a &#039;yard sale&#039; with the kind of low end coins that I collect.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the end, the widow got slightly over four times what she had been offered for the lot by coin dealers and his low end coins found homes with his friends.&nbsp; I miss being a part of a local ancients club.&nbsp; It was a lot like having Steve, TIF and the rest of you living down the street.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]354267[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
