<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 7972759, member: 110226&quot;]Sellers have been issuing their own certificates, testimonials, declarations and pronouncements of authenticity probably going back to when coin collecting began.&nbsp; The issuing of these pieces of paper do not lend legitimacy, unless it was issued by a renowned authority, nor are they necessarily red flags.&nbsp; Fundamentally it all comes down to the coin, the seller&#039;s reputation and one&#039;s ability to formulate an objective opinion about any given coin, and that comes down to one&#039;s level of knowledge, something that takes years of purchases, most good, some pretty bad, to develop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, although I don&#039;t do much with 4th century Roman bronzes, $165 does seem high, but then we are in a market populated by folks with money to spend, and do so seemingly at the drop of a hat.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would hold back on buy that coin, bide my time, and look for something comparable at a much lower price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
