<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 3025436, member: 24754"]Ya, a few people have mentioned that focusing solely on Sestertii might be a bit short sighted, and you are right, I should consider a Dupondius or As when a Sestertius is out of reach or unavailable. I'll just plan on going for the largest variety that I can afford in acceptable condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I'm a new-comer and all, but can we change what we call the As please? It's impossible to search sale listings when the item is called a word that is in every listing!!!!!! </p><p><br /></p><p>But in all seriousness, I have used the links to sale sites that you guys have provided, one in particular that has an auction catalog ending in 10 days or so. There's a handful of coins that I'm interested in for my first purchase, and thought it would be great to hear some of you guys' opinions. But, I wanted to check and see if this kind of thing would be taboo (starting discussions about coins that are actively being sold). Seems like there could be some conflict of interest issues if a forum member had a coin for sale in the auction that was getting talked down by other members, or if I brought unwanted attention to an item that another forum member was planning to bid on. If you guys could let me know then that'd be great, I just wanted to be sure before I started the conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
