<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3082332, member: 31620"]I know that I will generally value some of the eastern Septimius Severus coins higher than many. This can be a good thing in that I often buy them at what I feel is a bargain price (others might well argue on that one). Sometimes though you see something special (to you anyway) estimated at what you expect to be reasonable market value, bid 50% higher than this (got to have it mentality) and then see it sell for 3 or 4 times your bid value. Others have also spotted as special but valued it much higher than me.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few times I have then been approached by the dealer who bought a coin in these circumstances with me in mind as a potential end customer.
