<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 933872, member: 19463&quot;]There can never be a price guide for ancients because there are just too many variables both in the coins and in the collectors buying them.&nbsp; Some, mostly beginners, consider any coin of an emperor to be the same to them since they want only one coin and could care less which one they have.&nbsp; Others of us not only want a specific type but want a specific die of that type and a coin that shows clearly some specific detail to the point that we would pay more for&nbsp; a VG showing that detail than for a VF that was off center just enough to lose one letter.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your best guide would be to watch comparable sales on Forvm, VCoins etc. and ignore anything that you see selling for more unless you understand what made that particular coin worth more to that particular buyer AND you agree with him that it was worth the extra.&nbsp; Books with &quot;and their Values&quot; in the title rarely explain what considerations you need to apply to separate seemingly similar coins from one another.&nbsp; Comapring a dozen examples of a type that actually sold may tip you off to the difference between a $10 and a $100 example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
