[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7784760, member: 115909"]I don’t know if those were minted during Aurelius’s reign. If so certain rare coins like that are 5 digits and I just couldn’t fork over that kind of money. At the moment my limit is about $3K-$5K on a coin. But so far the most I’ve paid for a coin is $1500 (for my MS Athenian Owl and my F-12 1799 US silver dollar because I collect US coins too.) so it’s not something I could do frequently. Maybe once a year. My dream is to own a gold aureus one day. I have a winning bid on this Hadrian aureus but in the end I’ll probably lose the auction. [ATTACH=full]1335838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1335839[/ATTACH] But I don’t make much money so I can’t be forking over like $10,000+ for a coin. Id like to collect ancient Roman coins in a way where I can get several nice $1.5K to $3K coins and then have the rest be $200-$500 coins or less. Im also not a big fan of the copper/brass/orchicalcum coinage so it limits my options. I prefer gold & silver coinage. I know some people love the copper/brass/orchicalcum stuff and I understand why but it’s just not for me. Everybody likes different stuff ya know?[/QUOTE]
