<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1596769, member: 26302&quot;]Seems high. TBH sir, I would have suggested getting some late romans, or similar inexpensive ancients and a couple of books. $475 is a lot of money for soemthign you don&#039;t know much about. The Caracalla is nice, but not rare or anything. The Mexican coin you can find in similar grade but without the damage for $200 for a nice xf typically.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am saying I believe you spent $100-200 more on those than I would, but TBH I have no idea how much value a shipwreck brings to a coin. I just paying extra for a water damaged coin was silly, but I know a ton of people do.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;You didn&#039;t buy fakes, and the Caracalla is a fine coin, I just would have not spent that much personally. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ancients are even more about knowledge of what you are collecting than US coins are. Tell us what fields you are interested in, give us examples of what you are looking at, and we can provide you some feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I mainly collect central asia, but here is a group of denari I bought this year at a show for $18 a piece. Yes, that was a GREAT price, but all of these typically go for around $50 a piece nowadays.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]223694.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
