[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7972400, member: 80952"]Here is my 15 EUR (+ auction taxes) Helena from Antioch mint. Obverse has some minuses but overall I'm content with it. There were others in the same price range and better, but this was the first in the list so I just wanted to add an empress that was not in my collection and make sure I get it. I don't consider this a great deal! [ATTACH=full]1383009[/ATTACH] On the same auction there were other coins from Helena, different mints, different hairstyles, and the most expensive one (also Cyzicus) was 44 EUR. [ATTACH=full]1383010[/ATTACH] That is the best advice you can give yourself :) You're on a good path - you searched yourself to see if the price is correct and you also asked here. It's much better than buying first and researching later. I am an impulse collector, usually when I decide to participate in an auction, I choose 2-3 coins as main targets, 4-5 as secondary, to grab if the prices are OK. Most often I can't get all the "prepared" coins so if something catches my attention, live, I try to get it but only at a very convenient price.[/QUOTE]
