<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4415385, member: 19463&quot;]When we post prices paid, especially those 20 years ago, we invite comparisons to what those same coins would bring today.&nbsp; I say that the current boon in EF+ rarities does not extend to coins like these.&nbsp; I would expect these to sell for under half of the quoted numbers and be unlikely to be listed by most sellers unless in large lots.&nbsp; I hope beginners realize that it is necessary to develop a feel for the difference between coins like maridvnvm&#039;s rare bust or octavius&#039; well struck examples and the thousands of coins with poor striking and rough surfaces that populate certain sales venues.&nbsp; Whatever the year, there are sales either too high or too low to be understood easily.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Treviri&nbsp; 1997&nbsp; $16 from Dan Clark</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1108166[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Lugdunum&nbsp; 2000 $22 from Stack&#039;s - Coin Galleries Auction</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1108167[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
