<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2751977, member: 39084&quot;]Overall, the five coins you posted are an excellent kick-off to a broadly based collection of ancients.&nbsp; Not just because &quot;they are fairly sought after ancients&quot; but more because they are iconic types of important coins and historical figures, and are in very good condition for their types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on the prices you paid, including the exchange rate and buyer&#039;s fees, you should feel comfortable that you did well and (in my opinion) didn&#039;t overpay for the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I would resist the temptation to have them graded or authenticated, at least for now.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s extremely likely that they are all genuine, and I don&#039;t doubt Roma&#039;s trustworthiness when it comes to selling coins -- i.e., if they thought a coin wasn&#039;t authentic, they wouldn&#039;t list it in their auction.&nbsp; If, in the future, your research casts doubt upon any of these coins, you can always have it authenticated later.&nbsp; Roma has a perpetual guarantee of authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, the grade of each coin is pretty much irrelevant, since if you ever do want to sell any of these coins, the potential buyers will evaluate your coins based on comparison to others that they&#039;re considering, rather than on an assigned grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck in your future collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
