<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5008673, member: 19463&quot;]Before you spend that much I would suggest buying assistance from a representative who would find humor in your ranking of Trajan over Claudius.&nbsp; Most high end collectors I know use auction agents to help them avoid big mistakes like paying too much for common coins.&nbsp; Many aurei seem to trade hands by private treaty and don&#039;t make it into online lists. The problem is finding the person you trust.&nbsp; Within the last month, on of our higher end collectors offered to help suggest appropriate dealers.&nbsp; I am not in the price bracket that makes this desirable and I enjoy the hunt as much as the capture.&nbsp; Were I considering spending $3k or $30k on one coin, I would first find help from someone who does this sort of thing daily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
