<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2208537, member: 19463&quot;]I love the question raised by coins like this.&nbsp; It is my single most frequently ask (of myself) question.&nbsp; This is a very common coin and not the most interesting one of Gordian.&nbsp; Should I pay twice as much and get one like John Anthony&#039;s, three times as much and get one like arnoldoe&#039;s?&nbsp; Magnus is right about mintage and I&#039;ll guarantee there are enough half decent Gordian III antoniniani to give one to every kid who collects coins of any type and might like a coin older than anything he has owned by 1500 years.&nbsp; Most of us would love, love, love to have a coin this nice of Aemelian or one of a dozen other mid level rarities.&nbsp; Who among us has seen a coin this nice of Jotapian or Pacatian?&nbsp; Still many would turn up their noses at a Gordian in less than mint state.&nbsp; </p><p>Is the coin worth the price paid?&nbsp; I say, yes.&nbsp; If you listed it for sale for a slight profit and fees/expenses, would it be an easy sell?&nbsp; I say demand would be minimal.&nbsp; Will it be worth more in ten years?&nbsp; That is another &#039;no&#039; in my opinion.&nbsp; Would it still thrill a young/new collector of 2025?&nbsp; It certainly should. </p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I should show my example.&nbsp; I have about 20 Gordian types but not this one.&nbsp; I did not realize that when I first saw this post.&nbsp; Do I need one?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
