<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7897390, member: 110350&quot;]Great buy, [USER=92983]@roman99[/USER]! My solidi of Arcadius and Honorius (my only two ancient gold coins) were both around $1,000 at retail, and it took me quite a while to find examples in decent condition for that low a price. I do think that the earlier solidi (4th century and early 5th century) tend to be more expensive in general than many of the later ones -- perhaps because they still look more like &quot;Roman&quot; than &quot;Byzantine&quot; coins.&nbsp; But they&#039;re still no more than one-third or so as expensive as the cheapest aurei, which seem to be mediocre aurei of Nero for whatever reason. Barring some unexpectedly massive influx of cash (lottery win; inheritance from unknown relative; etc.!), I don&#039;t think aurei are in my collecting future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
