<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 6477265, member: 44316&quot;]Experienced ancient-coin collectors know that high-grade denarii of Septimius Severus, Severus Alexander, and others of that era are common. Certainly they are inexpensive relative to other high-grade denarii. So, if you are a seller and want to sell a very attractive ancient coin for more than you paid for it, what can you do?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, one thing is you can expand your customer base by slabbing it and thereby allowing collectors who only know US coins to enter the market with assurance the coin is both genuine and high grade. There are many US-coin collectors who would be amazed at how inexpensive a coin in nice shape and <b>1800 years old</b> can be. A denarius that we know costs $50 raw can be slabbed and turned into a coin that might bring $125 or $150 bids. The coins look that good. Maybe ancient-coin prices are too low and they are right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
