<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3973162, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, the ID is there but when a coin is as common as this, coins that rely on &#039;insider knowledge&#039; for ID and have zero eye appeal simply are not worth $4.95 then or now.&nbsp; That brings us to the question of what is the proper price for ancient coins that have nothing to recommend them other than being an ancient coin.&nbsp; Certainly there are those among us who make a living selling such coins (often in generic plastic slabs marked with an ID like &quot;Constantine era&quot;) to people who know nothing about ancient coins but want to own one.&nbsp; We can debate whether they are preforming a public service or scum preying on the ignorant just because there is a sucker born each minute.&nbsp; At least these are usually genuine ancient coins.&nbsp; Most of us have made worse mistakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
