<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harry G, post: 6804467, member: 105282&quot;]Hi all! Just thought I&#039;d share something quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought 2 large lots a while ago of 50 nice condition antoniniani each for £265 total. This is still, currently, my biggest single spend on a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had to clean the coins up, and remove some of the green deposits on them (I don&#039;t think it&#039;s bronze disease). Most were cleaned pretty quickly, but a couple had stubborn deposits that won&#039;t budge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I kept the ones I liked most, and have been reselling the rest on eBay, for about the £8-£12 each range. They&#039;ve been doing pretty well, and I&#039;m making a nice profit on each one (which will go back into buying more coins etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>However, today I uploaded my last batch (about 10 coins), 2 of which being of Aurelian. I listed one for £10, and then thought &quot;Hey, I&#039;ll just check the reverse in case it&#039;s something special&quot; (it was a Milan minted coin, which I find somewhat unusual).</p><p><br /></p><p>I was pretty shocked to see that my coin was a rare DACIA FELIX type. I searched it up, and found that similar condition coins (without the silvering my coins have but also without the deposits) go for about £150-£300!</p><p>(e.g. <a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/numismatiknaumann/browse?a=169&amp;l=154772" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/numismatiknaumann/browse?a=169&amp;l=154772" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/auctions/numismatiknaumann/browse?a=169&amp;l=154772</a> and <a href="https://www.romanumismatics.com/234-lot-903-aurelian-bi-antoninianus?auction_id=134&amp;view=lot_detail" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.romanumismatics.com/234-lot-903-aurelian-bi-antoninianus?auction_id=134&amp;view=lot_detail" rel="nofollow">https://www.romanumismatics.com/234-lot-903-aurelian-bi-antoninianus?auction_id=134&amp;view=lot_detail</a>, although the Roma one is quite a bit nicer)</p><p><br /></p><p>The best thing is, I checked the other Aurelian, and it turns out I have two of that type!</p><p><br /></p><p>I removed my eBay listing (phew) and contacted Roma, who said they&#039;d be interested in consigning them, along with an unlisted as, also of Aurelian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just thought I&#039;d share <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272192[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272191[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
