<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hispanicus, post: 2837382, member: 72626&quot;]Zumbly,</p><p>Great idea for an educational post. When I began collecting ancients price range was a complete mystery and as many on this forum have pointed out, it was worth the time to investigate auction results as well as checking with online dealers like VCoins to get a reasonable price range for reference. </p><p><br /></p><p>In April of 2017 this Marcus Aurelius Dupodius hammered at auction for the starting bid of $60. With the addition of a 15% buyer’s fee plus $10 shipping, delivery to my house came out to $79.00 total.&nbsp;&nbsp; I’m a big fan of Marcus Aurelius in general and bid on this coin just before the auction started because I noticed that there were no other bidders. If it had cost more, say up to a $90 hammer price I still would have been happy. At that hammer price, including the buyer’s fee and shipping, it would still be less than I would pay at a local bricks and mortar shop.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]670375[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Marcus Aurelius</b>, AE Dupondius, Rome mint struck approximately 178 AD.</p><p>Obv: Radiate head right / Rev: Aequitas standing left holding scales and cornucopia.</p><p>24 mm, 12.2grams</p><p>RIC III 1232; MIR 18, 418-8/50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
