[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8264943, member: 80952"]Good ol' Hosidius! I wanted one of those for a while but the prices were discouraging for me. Managed to win a "compromise" - this was 70 EUR + taxes so fits the thread. [ATTACH=full]1458100[/ATTACH] Worse preservation than yours, [USER=75525]@rrdenarius[/USER] but with the same kind of defect - centering. On this aspect, mine seems better. Overall, a good coin especially since it was on my wish list for some months. But for me this is not a cheap coin. Not a fortune, but I consider it, for my collecting style, average or slightly above average. Prices paid and how a collector considers a coin cheap or expensive depend on many factors - the income and budget they're willing to spend, how advanced a collector is and if they are also selling coins or not. I know people who always buy coins in modest or average condition with the goal of reselling those, making a profit and buying better coins. I never liked this (anyway I am not allowed to do this with ancient coins, but I don't have the time and patience to resell any kind of coins).[/QUOTE]
