<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3149350, member: 76194"]Same here, this particular version of Galba's quinarius issue is pretty uncommon, and it just happened to come up for sale at what I thought was a reasonable price for it's condition (around $100 less than one just like it in similar condition which is being offered on vcoins). Could I have gotten a more common silver Galba denarius in aVF or VF for around the same I paid for it? Sure! But the more common Galba denarius will still be somewhat readily found for about the same price a year from now, this particular type of quinarius probably not so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's why I went this route. I'll probably get my Galba denarius eventually, but I have no regrets about getting a rarer coin of his that I may not have probably ever purchased otherwise, and done so now when I had the chance to snap it up at a good price even if it is in a condition I normally don't go for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
