<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4243391, member: 98035&quot;]Great post! I had sometimes wondered about some of those listings on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone with a bit more experience bottom feeding on eBay, most of the first coins can be found for about $1-2 each, usually in lots because of the costs associated with shipping and fees. $25 is about right for the Lucius Verus, although from my experience, the sweet spot for Nerva-Antonine denarii is in the VF-XF range, which usually won&#039;t cost more than $50-100, depending on emperor and type.</p><p><br /></p><p>For common Roman bronzes (260-285 AD and 317-360), you can with patience get an XF coin of most common emperors and types for $10-25. I&#039;ve bought and sold hundreds of such coins, and it is rare that a common type will go for more than about $30, regardless of how nice it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll echo what others have said - never buy a coin sight unseen from an eBay seller![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
