<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2686547, member: 19463&quot;]I am 100% with zumbly on this one.&nbsp; It is a real problem for those who buy lots or even those who do trades.&nbsp; There is also the matter of when we bought the coin.&nbsp; Some of us paid less in the distant past (not always, I overpaid a lot in the old days, too).&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I suppose it all averages out in the long run and only becomes important if you sell part of the coins and retain others.&nbsp; Those who intend to keep these and the &#039;winners&#039; that came with them for the duration won&#039;t have to face that question.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; The three below got cataloged in by my best guess separation at between $140 and $170 each.&nbsp; Some of you would pay more, some less; some would wonder why anyone would want any of them.&nbsp; Such is the game.&nbsp; All are Commodus Alexandria tetradrachms except the lion which is a diobol.&nbsp; Most are common as these go but two are not.&nbsp; We each have to ask whether being rare, historical, full legend, unworn or just being pretty is more important.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]601766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]601767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]601768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]601769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]601770[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
