<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1100871, member: 19463&quot;]I just took on a job of photographing a bunch of coins for a small dealer and won&#039;t have time for much else for a few days. Included in the bunch were some low end sestertii not much worse than this which we decided not to photograph since it would double the cost of the coin ($5-10).&nbsp; Value of such things is really hard to pin down since it really depends on whether you have customers who believe anything that old has value or customers who already have more low end coins as they want.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A fair question:&nbsp; What is the minimum value of a common emperor sestertius certainly identifiable by portrait outline and probably by reverse type but with no legend or fine details?&nbsp; It is very much an opinion matter.&nbsp; Most dealers have a minimum price they charge for any coin (some over $100; some have a $1 junk box with real junky junk).&nbsp; Reselling such coins may be a bit hard but they can make nice pocket pieces.&nbsp; I believe $20 is high here but the coin is certainly Pius and that alone should make it worth several ugly 4th century bronzes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
