<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3024419, member: 82549&quot;]Normally I tell newbies to start on eBay but to never bid more than $15 on a coin to reduce the chance of getting swindled. By tracking the final closing prices--chances are you&#039;ll be outbid if it&#039;s a nice coin--you gain an understanding of what the market is like for that particular coin in that condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in your case, wanting to begin with sestertii, you will probably get frustrated because you&#039;ll keep getting outbid and be tempted to raise your bids, increasing the chances of getting ripped off. So maybe you should start at phase two: VCoins (<a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx</a>). Vcoins used to be the ideal place for beginners because the dealers were strictly vetted. The vetting standards have dropped in recent years, but it&#039;s still a good place for comparison shopping. You can enter a search term like &quot;Hadrian sestertius&quot; and get 20 or more different examples with different price tags.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also check out some auctions. A lot of people on this site like Frank Robinson&#039;s auctions. Our own John Anthony has weekly auctions, too. You might contact both these people and get on their mailing list. I subscribe to (VAuctions <a href="https://www.vauctions.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vauctions.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vauctions.com/</a>) and CNG (<a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/</a>). In fact, I just won a nice bulk lot in CNG&#039;s last electronic auction. I&#039;ll post some coins from it when it arrives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
