<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 2936023, member: 44357&quot;]This coin last sold at Heritage this past August for $4300 hammer (or about $5K all-in).</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t view it in-hand at the time but to me, that scuff is a deal-breaker and it may be more visible, especially because it was estimated at $6-8K and didn&#039;t reach that level when presumably most aurei collectors/dealers saw it.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mentality with coins in this price range is: if someone can pay $5K for a coin which is 70% &quot;all there&quot;, they can probably pay $8K or $10K for a 100% coin. I&#039;d personally rather have a slightly lower grade coin without the scuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninus Pius aurei aren&#039;t hard to come by and I&#039;ve amassed a small hoard of them myself but I&#039;d advise to wait for the right coin for you, which may or not be this one at that price point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
