<p>[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 2763867, member: 51347"]Honest question which I have no problem answering from my perspective: I am a novice, not a dealer, nor an expert by any means. I am a hobbiest focused on capturing placemarkers in History. I particularly like the Roman Republic, and those entities that interacted with them. That stated, I felt that the Seller, whom I would expect to have much more working knowledge than me regarding Ancient coins, would have superior knowledge. I had no clue what the coin truly was. Rather, with my novice knowledge, I FELT that this coin was odd. I believe I spent $30USD for it, and I would need to further research it. It was not labeled as an As, rather as a "Roman Republic Januform". Never seen that one in that size (sextans) as a Januform. Ok, SOLD and I do some research.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it worth more than $30USD? No clue. Do I care? Not really, as I have never sold any of my coins, and have no plans to. Intrinsically, it is very valuable to me for what I LEARNED! And as to the cool period of History it represents: PRICELESS![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
