<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7569998, member: 80952&quot;]The denarius is still attractive (for my tastes). Good addition.</p><p>I am in the ancient coins world for a short while (October 2020) but I can confirm what Herodotus mentioned about prices.</p><p>I was lucky enough to get some good coins when I was an absolute beginner because apparently I was almost alone in some auctions. One of them being a Hadrian denarius that I like very much.</p><p>So the prices I thought to be correct were apparently extremely low compared to reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I would advise - when trying to determine a correct price for a coin, usually you can&#039;t find a clear answer - the correct one is &quot;the price that was last paid in an auction because someone was willing to pay that sum&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1305251[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the correct price for this coin? I honestly can&#039;t tell but it was part of a lot of 4 (similar quality) coins with hammer price 70 EUR. With taxes - 82.25 EUR. For me it was more than OK. I was expecting similar prices in other auctions, but ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as a personal advice, you can&#039;t rely too much on a single price. It can be extremely low because there weren&#039;t too many bidders or it can go abnormally high because there was a bidding war there.</p><p>And for fixed prices, again, I don&#039;t take them too much into consideration. If a coin is listed at 100 EUR price and stays there for 6 months, this usually means that who wants a similar coin can get it cheaper from auctions or other places.</p><p>I have coins in my albums won with 20-25 EUR in auctions. Saw same coins in similar qualities with a fixed price of 150 EUR. In the best case scenario, a &quot;real&quot; price is somewhere in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a Julia Titi denarius (good VF) in an auction, from August 2020. Hammer 650 EUR (plus taxes, shipping....). The same coin appeared in March 2021 (exact same coin) and the hammer was 1100 + taxes and shipping. What is the correct price for it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
