<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3001701, member: 75525&quot;]I agree. Grade is not everything, but condition, eye appeal and desirability determine the price of a coin. </p><p>I think your first ancient is great. You can handle the coin and not worry about degrading it. You can win plenty of bets at a bar asking who has the oldest coin in their pocket. It is a good ice breaker: &quot;Have you ever held a 1600 year old coin?&quot;</p><p>One of the favorite areas of my collection are well loved and cut coins. Some can not be attributed beyond Roman Republican As (or in this case half of an As). These were less than $10 each (and I probably over paid.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]742788[/ATTACH]</p><p>The following are examples of similar coins that are worth a lot more (10 to 20 times more than the ones above) because they have interesting historical guys on them: Julius Caesar and Octavian. The other one is like the ones above, only better condition.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]742783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]742784[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
