<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 8485409, member: 91820&quot;]Ebay is still one of the few places you can find deals through misattributed, really poorly photographed, or unrecognized rarities etc but great deals are few and far between now except in the last month:</p><p><br /></p><p>I just bought an extremely (extremely) rare Caracalla as Caesar RIC 398(b) sestertius in great condition except for a few problems with flan and inscription - but the coin is RIDICULOUSLY rare - I have found no examples - none - on ancient.info and all of one in the British Museum collection, with the same die - none in any other major databases I searched.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Caracalla cost $293 including shipping and completes my collection of very early Caracalla sestertii - it is also an obverse die match of my Caracalla Securitas sestertius which is how I can identify the obverse inscription. I think this is an An extremely important coin for a collector of Severan sestertii. I am going to do an article on it shortly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also just bought a worn Septimius IMP X sestertius Salus reverse on French eBay for $39 including shipping. It is an obverse die match to the same type I bought last year on Spanish eBay also for $39.&nbsp; Both coins are mightily rare - the one I just got is a die match to one in the British museum.&nbsp; I will be posting this coin as well when I get it</p><p><br /></p><p>so for me eBay is a rewarding place to be I guess.
