<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3024597, member: 85693&quot;]For true bottom-feeding, I find eBay unbeatable.&nbsp; The luck factor is high (good and bad), and I do get burned sometimes, but with a limited budget, I just find eBay irresistible. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are four I got recently, with prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>Aurelian Ant., ORIENS reverse, much silvering intact:&nbsp; $3.25</p><p>Postumus Ant. PAX reverse, pretty good metal:&nbsp; $22.00 &quot;Buy it Now&quot;</p><p>Byzantine Half Follis, Justin II (Thessalonica) and Constans II (Carthage):&nbsp; $7.99 for the pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be sure, nothing pristine here:&nbsp; some encrustation on the Aurelian, weak legend on the Postumus, a hint of what might be BD on the Justin II.&nbsp; So these are not for the high-end collector.&nbsp; But even so, a fixed-price dealer would probably sell these for substantially more than I paid.&nbsp; None of them are, as far as I can tell, fake (but again, I do get burnt from time to time). </p><p><br /></p><p>Shipping not included in the above - all were USA sellers, so about $3-4 for each shipment (the Postumus was free shipping).&nbsp; And a lot of time spent wading through fakes and nonsensically over-priced stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]752678[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]752679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
