<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1229134, member: 19463"]Both are extremely common and easily available in better condition so price would depend on who is selling and where the transaction takes place. I have seen such things sold by telemarketers or back of magazine ads for $19.95 but $1 is probably closer and you would not be offered even that by most of us simply because we already have all the low grade late Romans we want. There is no consistent market for these. An odd situation is that uncleaned and unidentified coins can sell for more than identified ones. Some people would pay $100 for a hundred unknowns but not $1 for a common Valens. The reason is they are buying the thrill of the search and the hope that the 100 will include a few different, better and valuable coins while a fully researched but nothing special coin offers none of those thrills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
