<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 25245532, member: 91820&quot;]I have found that if you are patient - really really patient - and avoid some of the more well known dealers you can find some real bargains in online auctions - but it requires time which I usually do not have.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And sometimes you can find great deals with the biggies - I just won and received a Geta sestertius RIC 185, extremely rare platform scene - only two examples on ACSEARCH from CNG for $300 including buyers fee, shipping and taxes.&nbsp; I really REALLY like CNG - it is a great company - I paid with a phone call since my card had changed, they got me the coin very fast, e-mail to confirm receipt - just a class act, all around.&nbsp; But they get very good prices - except I did pretty good this time.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is wonderful for me since I have the same type of sestertius for Caracalla - I am going to do a post that includes both coins as part of a long planned article about sestertii of the year both Geta and Caracalla were emperors and what happened right after.&nbsp; This article has been percolating in my head for so long that I could probably dash it off in&nbsp; couple of hours.&nbsp; But how to find the time!!?
