[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 3973363, member: 77226"]I get what Doug is saying about people who set values on coins for more than they're worth, just because the coin is 1750 years old. But I don't think that matters here, as your vantage point is different. While the 'value' if you are looking to resell it would probably be what you paid or less, the value to you is what matters. We spend money on a lot of things that do nothing for us. If this coin fosters an interest for you, or your kids, or others in history or just coins, it's worth the $4.75 and probably more. Plus, it's just cool to have an ancient coin. Here's my first coin that I spent $7 or $8 on... it's probably not worth what I paid but to me it has a lot of personal worth. It has multiplied into 1500 or so coins and a lifelong hobby. I'd say that's worth $7 or $8. [ATTACH=full]1045700[/ATTACH] Constantius II Siscia RIC 352[/QUOTE]
