<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1603729, member: 19463"]Asking prices are on the rise. Coins that don't sell after a while get discounted. Dealers that give up easily sometimes sell for less than they paid just to free up cash to try to do better next time. Dealers who make this mistake too often go our of business. Dealers that never discount sell few coins. That does not lead to a long term place in the business either. When you pay the asking price, you are agreeing with the dealer. I see this coins as a bit less than you paid but more than Frank. Mat is closer to my opinion but when a beginner buys a coin at less than double what I would pay it says more about how bad he wanted the coin compared to how bad I wanted it than it does about the coin itself. This is a nice middle of the road Marcus Aurelius which will sell between $50 and $150 depending on who is selling and who is buying. You are OK. If all of the reverse legend were there, I'd say it was worth the $110.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
