<p>[QUOTE="Bing, post: 2129714, member: 44132"]We all have to budget, so we all understand. But we hope this is not your only foray into Ancients. There is a world of history waiting to be discovered.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the price you paid, it was a fair price. You say you got it at a local coin shop? Most of the shops I visit don't carry Ancient's on any kind of regular basis. However, I visited one today which just happened to have a Littleton collection of probably 80 plus coins most of which were in VF condition. The shop owner does not deal in Ancients and is looking to unload the entire collection at once. He offered them to me for $500 but I'm certain he would take $400 just from comments he made. If that's the case, I could have them all at an average price of $5 each. Even the worse in that book was worth $5, and there are a few worth well over $100. I'm considering it, but I think I would need to unload many if I do to help with my budget. My point in telling all this is that there will always be deals to be had. You just need to bide your time and be always watchful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
