There are so many great sub-$200 coins here. Seriously... nice stuff, everyone.

I'm having trouble with the word "best", so I'll just show a few favorites..

In my records, I have the cost of this Otho down as $180 shipped. However, it came from a group lot, and the cost recorded is proportionate to the value I assigned it relative to the values assigned to other coins in the lot. In other words, I may be the only who considers that it cost me $180 .


This Eion trihemiobol was the favorite sub-$200 coin in my Top 10 of 2016 list. It was $125 shipped.


And to give some space to recent favorites, here's one I haven't shown before. It's a Geta provincial from Hadrianopolis with a Hercules-clubbing-the-Lernaean-Hydra reverse. It was won at auction for $185 shipped. I've not yet received it, so these are the seller's pics.

 

Sweet!! => congrats, Z-Bro

Man, I love the new Hydra-coin (very cool)

 

ro, you should try putting 10 coins in one post and then maybe I'll give ya the like, my coin-friend



"maybe"

 

Thanks, man. I'm really looking forward to receiving it and having it in hand.

 

Indeed, i have drinking

 

OK. I'll bite:

 

Great coins Ken. I love the patina on the Trajan.

 

I am 100% with zumbly on this one. It is a real problem for those who buy lots or even those who do trades. There is also the matter of when we bought the coin. Some of us paid less in the distant past (not always, I overpaid a lot in the old days, too). I wanted to show some of my recent lot wich come in under $200 only if you accept the fact that I valued them less than I did some others in the lot. I suppose it all averages out in the long run and only becomes important if you sell part of the coins and retain others. Those who intend to keep these and the 'winners' that came with them for the duration won't have to face that question. I have learned that, for the most part, I get over paying too much for a coin after a short period of mourning but have been known to kick myself for letting something I really wanted go. The three below got cataloged in by my best guess separation at between $140 and $170 each. Some of you would pay more, some less; some would wonder why anyone would want any of them. Such is the game. All are Commodus Alexandria tetradrachms except the lion which is a diobol. Most are common as these go but two are not. We each have to ask whether being rare, historical, full legend, unworn or just being pretty is more important.

 

At first all I saw was a goofy-looking Christ. It took me a couple minutes to find Gordian and now I have to strain to see Christ.

 

I'll just post my 2 or 3 coins where I think I got extraordinarily lucky.

This antoninian of Hostilianus was about 65 euros 3 years ago (about $105):



This as of Titus was about 170 euros back in 2000 ($200, give or take).
