<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Factor, post: 3142036, member: 96413&quot;]Obviously starting bid is up to the auction house. On the other hand if the meaning of estimate is what Roma considers as fair value of the coin, starting with 80% doesn&#039;t make much sense. For coins estimated at £100 and below winners end up paying in total more then the estimate even if won at starting bid, particularly if there are no other lots to combine shipping costs. I am more concerned though by some fake late romans (of typical Balkan craftsmanship made using worn ancient flans) that made their way to couple of recent auctions. Definitely not to the extent of infestation seen at some other auction houses I will not name here, but still worrying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
