[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7569998, member: 80952"]The denarius is still attractive (for my tastes). Good addition. I am in the ancient coins world for a short while (October 2020) but I can confirm what Herodotus mentioned about prices. 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. So the prices I thought to be correct were apparently extremely low compared to reality. What I would advise - when trying to determine a correct price for a coin, usually you can't find a clear answer - the correct one is "the price that was last paid in an auction because someone was willing to pay that sum". [ATTACH=full]1305251[/ATTACH] What is the correct price for this coin? I honestly can't tell but it was part of a lot of 4 (similar quality) coins with hammer price 70 EUR. With taxes - 82.25 EUR.
