[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2839927, member: 76194"]Yeah, you want to be careful not to overpay for Gordian III. Lots of unscrupulous dealers try to get newbies that way, especially eBay.

The individual actual price per coin is as low as $35 for some of them, but the denarii tend to be a little more expensive as they are not as common, so that definitely affects the overall price per coin average. That's not to say there aren't some properly rare silver coins for Gordian III, because there are, and those will be priced accordingly. Another budget area are many of his common sestertii and also many of his provincial issues. Some provincial coinage in VF grade can run you as little as $20, though he also does have some rarer issues that will be priced accordingly. But overal, yes, lots of bargains to be had on coins of Gordian III in VF and XF condition, which is part of the reason I like collecting his stuff so much, though that's probably the reason most people really don't bother going after his coins.[/QUOTE]
