<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2805807, member: 75937&quot;]Pricing of ancient coins is kind of loosey-goosey, depending on more than just grade, but quality of strike, centering, state of preservation, artistry and &quot;eye-appeal.&quot; There is no price-guide that is close to accurate and you have to compare similar examples from recent auctions to determine price. The more examples you can find, the better your estimate of value, so with commonly sold coins, such as denarii of Marcus Aurelius or Corinthian staters, it&#039;s pretty easy to value them. For coins that are so cheap they never go at auction or so unusual they hardly ever come up at auction, it&#039;s very hard to put a price on them. In the case of the former, low-grade examples may be nearly valueless and for the latter examples, they may only bring $50 at auction but the next time they come up for auction they might bring much more, depending on demand at the time in that particular auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>And when looking at auction prices, don&#039;t forget to add buyer&#039;s fees, PayPal transaction fees and shipping. A coin that goes for 60 British pounds might end up costing you $115 in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
