<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1629006, member: 44140"]<font size="2">Well I got a deal on this coin. As I often hunt for the deal harder then hunt for the coin, I got this for less than $150. I think you would be hard pressed to find one in comparable condition for under $200. I am sure they are out there, but many command a significant premium. I considered it a happy day when I got this coin. I also have a high grade Philip the Arab and Gordian III, I have a lower grade Valerian I but that will soon change as he is not a ruler with super expensive issues.
