[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8067894, member: 115909"]I promise I’m not trying to be hostile or argumentative but from what I've seen I don't think that [I]ANY [/I]Vespasian denarii are very cheap [I]in near MS (mint state) condition[/I]. I'm sure if I bought a Ch F or a VF Vespasian denarius of this type I probably could've gotten it for $150-$200 because there are ALOT more of them available in those lower grades. According to the population reports there are less than 100 Vespasian denarii of all types combined that are graded Ch AU or better and when trying to buy coins with such small numbers in existence it tends to be expensive. [ATTACH=full]1398778[/ATTACH] I also looked at the HA sold listings and based on those prices even though I overpaid a bit with my $700 bid I don't think I overpaid too much. From what I saw this coin is in the $650-$800 range in this condition. Keep in mind that the fact that the bidding went up to $700 means that whoever was bidding against me was willing to pay $675 for it and the definition of what something is worth is what people are willing to pay for it. Oh and thanks for letting me know about what ITER means. I'm so used to seeing "COS II" rather than "COS ITER" xD[/QUOTE]
