[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 25233319, member: 100005"]All three coins are in NGC encapsulation. Generally speaking, that will increase the cost of the coins. All three have a fair amount of wear. In particular the Titus aureus is noted to have "edge filing". What really jumps out is the weight... 5.70g. A full weight Titus aureus should weigh about 7.2g. If I may suggest... you can take a look at [URL='http://www.cngcoins.com']www.cngcoins.com[/URL] and look under the "Research" tab. It's free to use. Enter simple keywords like "Tiberius aureus" and you can get a reasonable feeling of what a fair price should be. Since your aurei have a fair amount of wear, look under the eAuctions tab, where their lower grade examples are sold. It sounds like you bought at retail (not at auction) and with NGC encapsulation. If so, you should expect to pay more. Personally I think you overpaid a little though.[/QUOTE]
