<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2344153, member: 19463&quot;]The more I see threads like this the less interest I have in answering.&nbsp; The fact that someone does not answer within a half hour of a question does not mean they are dodging the question.&nbsp; It could mean they do not live online and only see these posts a few times a day.&nbsp; Tonight is Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras (depending on how you party) so I was out.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen coins of this quality offered for everywhere from $30 to $300.&nbsp; I would not pay more than the $100.&nbsp; It is a nice coin but not one I am seeking or one I&#039;d pay extra for just because it is high grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I find it interesting that one of my more silvered FH coins is this&nbsp; Gallus from Cyzicus.&nbsp; I realize it is not as nice as yours but the fact that it also retained that much silver suggests that this mint may be one that did the silvering well.&nbsp; I recall thinking that this Gallus was worth the $15 being asked for it so I bought it even though it is not perfect and, that day, I did not know I was seeking a Gallus from Cyzicus.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]476588[/ATTACH] </p><p>That is how I, a collector not a dealer, work.&nbsp; I did pay $131 for a silver-free and imperfect Trier that I needed to complete my mint set but would not be tempted to upgrade a $15-20 Cyzicus with a really nice one at $100.&nbsp; The Trier was a Bridgnorth Hoard coin which were (and still are) being offered for more than I generally would pay but sometimes we pay more and sometimes we pay less.&nbsp; It averages out in the end. If you want the coin for a reason other than what it is worth, you don&#039;t care if you pay a bit too much.&nbsp; If you care only how much you can sell your coins for, perhaps you are a dealer and not a collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]476593[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll take this to mean you don&#039;t want answers from members of the TLC in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
