<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8276229, member: 110350&quot;]Until about 6 months ago, I had never spent more than about $1,000 on any one coin, and had approached that level only twice, with my solidi of Arcadius and Honorius. Since then, I&#039;m afraid I&#039;ve exceeded that level four times, twice by a few hundred dollars (for my new solidus of Valentinian I and for my silver cistophorus of Augustus with the Capricorn reverse), and twice by quite a bit more than that (although I won&#039;t specify by how much!), for the aurei of Vespasian&nbsp; and Antoninus Pius. I will be very surprised if I ever again spend as much on one coin as I did on that Vespasian aureus, although I&#039;m happy I bought it, especially given the 1910 provenance I was able to establish. And even then it was only in your third highest category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
