They have since quit dealing in Ancients. Mostly now only Asian coins. Too bad. They were a very good source for several of my coins.

 

Very clever because "dealer" is an anagram for "leader". Nicely done !

 

Oooh these are fun threads!

Ebay purchase for just a little under $200
Sassanian Empire, Ardashir I drachm - first coin I ever paid more than $100 for


Aemilian, about $175 IIRC. Vcoins buy; snatched it up minutes after the seller reduced the price from $225


(Of course these have been trending a LOT lower at auctions lately!)

Not sure if this counts, but final cost of this Caesar lifetime denarius was a little over $200. Bought a 4-coin lot of Caesar denarii from CNG and sold the other three for $200 less than I paid for the lot.



Way overstepped my budget a couple of Leu auctions ago to snatch these up for about $200 each:

Aquilia Severa denarius


Marius antoninianus


Zeno AV Tremissis
