<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3990651, member: 72790&quot;]I find the David Sear books to be very helpful in attribution. Many books make no attempt to give a value for several reasons but even if prices from earlier editions no longer offer currently valid prices they can be a guide to relative rarity. If a common Republic denarius in VF condition sold for $75 thirty years ago and another scarcer&nbsp; piece sold for $300 dollars at the same time (four times the cost of the common one) then if the relative value remained the same over the years and you can find current prices for the common one on the internet (but not the scarcer piece) you can surmise that the scarcer one you cannot immediately locate is still selling for roughly about four times the price of the common one you can readily find. Y</p><p>es, I know other matters might have changed this ratio (like a finding of a hoard of those once scarce pieces) but for relative rarity and therefore value, I still find even his older books a good guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
