<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2805804, member: 24544&quot;]Welcome to CT and to ancients in general.&nbsp; Your general question is a very good one, and it doesn&#039;t have an easy answer.&nbsp; I think most of us use auction prices to try to get a sense of value.&nbsp;&nbsp; CNG is a great resource.&nbsp; You can try sixbid.com as well.&nbsp; I also use acsearch.com, but it&#039;s a subscription site.&nbsp; Needless to say, you are on the right track.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of where I purchase, I think CNG is generally a good outlet for auction material.&nbsp; They tend to have nice material, a wide variety, and realistic start/estimates.&nbsp; I have bought coins from VCOINS, but I have also seen some dealers there with large markups, it&#039;s a bit of a mixed bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can also post pictures/details here and we are more than willing to give opinions, regardless of how unreliable they are <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...&nbsp; Last bit of advice, NGC mint state is basically xf to most ancient dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
