<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rays, post: 3632135, member: 105733&quot;]This is great information, and is the reason I didn&#039;t bid on the Julius Caesar aureus I related above from Great Collections (despite some temptation to do so). I really didn&#039;t know what that piece was worth except briefly checking prices realized on Heritage and Great Collections, which showed most of the aureii selling between $3K and $10K, with a few reaching as high as $30K.&nbsp; I know I will have to learn quite a bit more not only about values, but also <i>which</i> pieces to chase after.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t really considered such factors as reverse design, artistic quality of the portrait, strike centering.&nbsp; The Julius Caesar aureus I referenced above is not perfectly centered, and if given the choice, I would certainly prefer one that is.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as using an auction representative, I have done that many times over the years as I found when bidding on coins based solely on the catalog photo I was burned too often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
