[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 8486010, member: 91820"]] It is very difficult to find rare coins like the Septimius Severus Salus I just bought on ebay without the rarity highlighted because the seller is not aware of it, on say VCOINS or in an auction house environment simply because the these sellers are FAR FAR more knowledgeable, would know about its rarity and charge accordingly = as an example some years back I bought a Septimius Severus IMP X sestertius with Genius on the reverse on VCOINS and it cost about $145. I have found many coins on ebay which should have been priced much higher because of some attribute of the coin that was unknown to the seller whereas I do not think I have ever had the same situation buying from an auction house or on VCOINS - they know the coins they sell - which is a good thing sort of I guess. It is a flea market and the buyer better beware - but there are safeguards like paypal protection too - Blake[/QUOTE]
