<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 7908409, member: 75936&quot;]Indeed. I try to limit my pages of garbage to my list of sellers who consistently have interesting coins. Or I use specific search terms. A search for &quot;Byzantine follis&quot; will produce pages of heavily worn objects that barely look like coins. &quot;Byzantine Leo VI follis&quot; yields much nicer results.</p><p><br /></p><p>These days 9 out of 10 of my purchases are from eBay. Cashed up COVID-era investors have hyperinflated the coin market in the big auction houses to the point where a common Gordian III ant can sell for $1000. Strangely, they&#039;ve been ignoring some rare emperors (I saw Basiliscus and Anthemius hammer at modest prices in the recent Noble auction), so that accounts for 1 in 10 of my purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it&#039;s a jungle out there on eBay - you need to be very good at spotting fakes![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
