[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8056206, member: 80952"]I cannot recommend US dealers or auctions since I only buy from European auctions but you already received very good hints above my post. What I want to add is that, if you want to buy a Trajan coin, you have lots of options to choose from and most likely you will find a nice coin in the price limit you have. Trajan is a very good choice, as his coins are not rare (compared to other emperors), a person with minimum knowledge will recognize Trajan's portrait and you can find interesting reverse designs (not sure if this is a criteria but I am sure your daughter will like a coin with a reverse with historical importance). Here is the Trajan denarius I paid the most for. [ATTACH=full]1395828[/ATTACH] Including buyer's premium this was right under $100 and perhaps I even overpaid a little, but this coin was important for me and I wanted it in that moment. Saw nicer examples going for less. And as [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] mentioned, make sure you do not end up buying a [I]Trajan Decius[/I] coin as he was a different emperor.[/QUOTE]
