<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8055735, member: 44106&quot;]Welcome to CT Ancients, JimsOkay.</p><p><br /></p><p>The timing and price range are certainly in the ball park. You can definitely get an authentic Trajan denarius in VF condition or so for under $100 that will ship to you in a month. However, to minimize the odds of getting a fake, I would stick to US dealer sites, or respected online ancient coin platforms such as VCoins or MA Shops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example from MA Shops in your price range: <a href="https://www.ma-shops.com/stollhoff/item.php?id=7776" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.com/stollhoff/item.php?id=7776" rel="nofollow">https://www.ma-shops.com/stollhoff/item.php?id=7776</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Or another one on VCoins: </p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/tom_vossen/165/product/trajan_98117_ad_ar_denarius_302_gm_18mm_rome_mint_struck_circa_107111_ad_ric_ii_118_corr/1555925/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/tom_vossen/165/product/trajan_98117_ad_ar_denarius_302_gm_18mm_rome_mint_struck_circa_107111_ad_ric_ii_118_corr/1555925/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/tom_vossen/165/product/trajan_98117_ad_ar_denarius_302_gm_18mm_rome_mint_struck_circa_107111_ad_ric_ii_118_corr/1555925/Default.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You may be able to negotiate a lower price with some of these sellers, so don&#039;t always take the list price as being the final price.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should also be able to do better than my two examples with a little more searching. </p><p><br /></p><p>Other CT&#039;ers in the US may be able to recommend online US coin stores or auction houses with fixed price lists where you may also be able to get something. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although getting an authentic example from EBay for cheaper is definitely possible, I would recommend against this options simply because it&#039;s too risky for those not experienced enough in spotting fakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you had more time, there are a number of auction platforms such as Biddr or SixBid that could be used as well. Turnaround there is longer than a month, and there are additional buyer&#039;s premiums to contend with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my $0.02.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
