<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 3530947, member: 80147&quot;]Every now and again we get the question from beginner ancient collectors, how much should I pay or where is a good place to buy? well my advice is have a look at these Savoca Blue auctions, usually over a thousand coins looking for a home most lower grade but at starting prices as low as 5 Euro with one Euro increments is a good place to start and not get burnt. I think they make their profit on sheer numbers, also good for collectors who have been around for a while and don&#039;t like paying much which is probably most of us, I picked up up these five that I consider a good price especially the top two and the bottom one, priced from top Macrinus 44 Euro to bottom Hadrian temple of Artemis 13&nbsp; Euro, 129 total plus hammer and postage.[ATTACH=full]938114[/ATTACH]</p><p>PHOENICIA, Berytus.
