<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 2998679, member: 44357&quot;]Absolutely. Be careful - the whole deal seems suspicious to me, especially when he paid $100K four years ago for a coin he&#039;s now selling for $60K in trade. Definitely ensure that the coins you&#039;re getting are exactly what you&#039;re expecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the Numerian aureus in question, that was at the height of some of the Russian bidders buying up Roman gold so the price is higher than it would be in today&#039;s market where aurei are a bit weaker. I&#039;d also like to point out a pretty deep gouge behind the portrait before the legend on the obverse. Perhaps that&#039;s why NAC estimated it only at 25K. Between that and the mark on the neck/other scattered marks around the border, I definitely wouldn&#039;t grade it FDC. It is a very attractive coin but it&#039;d be worth ensuring you&#039;re going to be happy with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
