<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1221936, member: 19463&quot;]Rare/common is less a factor than high/low demand.&nbsp; My Pegasus is a common coin but popular.&nbsp; Of my coins, the twin horsemen was the most expensive (still less than half of yours) due to the neat victory added to the obverse and the nice balance that adds to eye appeal.&nbsp; The others are not at all rare but not perfect specimens.&nbsp; I bought them priced accordingly but many sellers would try for top dollar and figure someone would think anything that old must have faults.&nbsp; I probably find coins easier than you do.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; After many years I know places to look and things to look for but mostly places not to bother looking simply because I know certain dealers are a waste of time.&nbsp; Way too many sellers fail to distinguish between really nice coins and just &#039;sort of nice&#039; coins.&nbsp; As a result, they sell the better ones quickly and are left with things worth $50 that they priced at $250.&nbsp; Also, I buy what I find that appeals to me rather than feeling the need to fill a certain want at whatever price I find.&nbsp; The coin show that produced these coins was good for Republicans but I failed to see a Septimius Severus denarius that I would buy for 1/4 price.&nbsp; We each shop in a different manner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
