<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7589579, member: 80952&quot;]That&#039;s the problem when buying lots.</p><p>I bought 3 lots. First was a good decision (34 coins for 100 EUR plus taxes, all of them were easily attributed and most of the coins in the lot were very OK. I don&#039;t think that lot was analyzed properly). Second - 13 coins, also 100 EUR (yeah, beginner&#039;s wisdom). Meh. 1st and 2nd century bronzes, but ugly. Best ones were a Hadrian As, a Faustina As and a Nerva quadrans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last lot, 12 coins for 30 EUR. This was a shot in the dark as nowadays this is the price for a common, worn denarius (in a good day). I don&#039;t regret - I have an interesting Septimius Severus fourree, an Elagabalus limes denarius and 2 Antoninianii, Valerian and Gordian III plus a RR denarius. But the conditions ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the auction houses analyze the lots properly and decide the coins simply wouldn&#039;t get bidders if they are sold individually or in groups of 5-10 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, even if my budget is very limited and I can&#039;t afford exceptional coins, it&#039;s clear that buying lots to add in my personal collection is not the way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
