<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lord Geoff, post: 1600097, member: 42001&quot;]Hey everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>In case you remember from my previous posts, I have gotten 2 uncleaned lots now and am having a lot of fun trying to clean/identify them.&nbsp; I do not have pics yet but will post when I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I bought several coins from a member here and they are fantastic!&nbsp; I got my Sears book for Christmas so just trying to attribute them was a lot of fun.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I have a quick question for you fellows.&nbsp; I went into a store on the way home Christmas eve as I got off work early and I am usually at work while they were open.&nbsp; I asked them if he had ancients at which the owner kind of looked blank.&nbsp; I then said &quot;Like early Romans.&quot;&nbsp; He dug through a cabinet and said &quot;Hmm I just have this Byzantinian gold coin...&quot; to which I shook my head (way out of my price range) and then a bit later &quot;Ah yeah these two.&nbsp; I thought I had Romans but they are old Macedonian silver.&quot;&nbsp; I did not ask to look at them but am now regretting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know not too much about Macedonian silver specifically.&nbsp; My hope is that he sounded so vague about it that maybe he will just let them go at a bargain?&nbsp; At what price should I (having seen them, but not really knowing what I am looking at) say &quot;OK deal&quot;?&nbsp; I know I could spend a few hours doing some research but I&#039;m not really too interested in Macedonian silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess my question is...let&#039;s say I look at them and they look about as one would expect of 2 early Macedonian silver coins, legible, in decent shape, etc.&nbsp; At what price would you (or more specifically you would advise me) snatch them up?&nbsp; $50 for the two?&nbsp; $100 for the two?&nbsp; I have no idea what he will say but he seems kind of willy nilly about them and I don&#039;t want to pass up a possible bargain :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the advice!&nbsp; I know it is kind of vague but pictures and/or attributions are not going to be able to be provided.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Geoff[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
