<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1969797, member: 19463&quot;]Gordian III was the cheapest silver when I started in the hobby 50 years ago so it is not based on one recent find.&nbsp; While there are a few scarce reverses and more popular styles, they are mostly low priced in average grade.&nbsp; The OP coin is far below average.&nbsp; Bing&#039;s pair strike me as correctly priced.&nbsp; A problem or blessing with the LCS as a source is that the owners may be wholly ignorant of the difference between premium coins and common ones.&nbsp; Some charge high prices for everything while others buy cheap and sell all for a small markup.&nbsp;&nbsp; Until you advance enough that you can protect yourself from overcharges and fakes (your dealer would not know the difference, most likely), I would suggest buying by mail or from specialist dealers.&nbsp; Flea markets and coin stores that specialize in bullion silver are rarely good places for ancients.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
