<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1842871, member: 26302&quot;]I would agree with others. Pricing ancients is much harder than modern coins. Even when one becomes comfortable with them, and fairly knowledgable, you will find huge price swings. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an example, I collect Domitian quadrans with a rhino. Maybe hoard is a better term, but whatever. If you study these for a long time you still notice there is not much rhyme of reason to pricing of these, with coins of the same grade having asking prices anywhere from $100 to $500.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a matter of practice. Btw, don&#039;t get discouraged. You are talking to quite a few &quot;old hands&quot; here about ancients. Do you like the coin? If so, is the price of a decent dinner, (or less), worth it to you? Then relax. I am as cheap as the next guy, but don&#039;t sweat $20 purchases. Everyone&#039;s heart here is in the right place, though, trying to save you some money. I personally find buying group lots of coins like this the most cost effective method. Look at some decent online auctioneers, (not Ebay really), and you will find some great group lots pretty cheap. The problem with lower value coins is each has a &quot;dink with it&quot; factor, meaning to even HANDLE the coin the dealer wants a certain amount of dollars profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
