<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1687791, member: 25357&quot;]I won this coin off ebay recently.&nbsp; It&#039;s a Severus Alexander AE Sestertius. I fell in love with the coin right when I saw the listing.&nbsp; (never a great idea) A few things I really liked, the details and character in the portrait, the surfaces, the reverse and the size of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet, I&#039;m still really struggling with what is a fair price for a lot of these Roman Imperials.</p><p>The seller had it listed for what I thought was quite a bit high $130.&nbsp; So I lowballed him, or at least I thought I had by offering $80.&nbsp; But then he took my first offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>So of course that leaves me wondering..did I still overpay?&nbsp; Here&#039;s a link to the listing:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F300887844458%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F300887844458%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/300887844458?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This dealer sells a lot of ancients.
