[QUOTE="Swervo513, post: 25233226, member: 42720"]Hi all, Since I completed a 12 Caesar denarius set I thought maybe it was time to start a 12 Caesar aurei set. I made my first aurei purchase and was recently told that it’s hard to find them under 4K. So I figured any prices under 4K should be a good buy for each aureus. I must admit I did not do a lot of research and was ill prepared for this purchase. I think I was fleeced. Please, check out the coins below and tell me if I got destroyed on the price. I paid $2,400 for the Titus, $3,300 for the Nero and $4,000 for the Tiberius. Seems a little high in retrospect and after offering to a few dealers barely anyone wants them and they’re offering less than 2k a coin. This aureus portrait set may be a little daunting to complete any time soon. I was thinking of going after sestertius as well in the mean time. That may be a little more feasible. Can you guys tell me if I was completely ripped off? Also, what is a good auction house to buy early Roman imperial coins from? I’m tired of overpaying for coins. Thank you all for your time, Larry [ATTACH=full]1608293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608295[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608296[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608297[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1608298[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
