Frequently sellers will peddle $20 coins for $100, $100 coins for $1,000 etc. I have bought some coins on vcoins, but generally speaking you are much better off going with auction sites like CNG, Roma, or most of the auctions on Biddr (be wary of the ones that have had less than 20 sales; lots of newbies on there who either unknowingly sell fakes or blatantly mis-attribute).</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay is a great place for common middle and late Roman coins, but I would advise that you stick mostly to low value coins and never buy any coins from sellers in Eastern Europe, Cyprus, Russia, or China. Also check Forvm&#039;s fake sellers list:</p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=18502.0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Since you mentioned Gallic coins specifically, I will offer one piece of advice - don&#039;t buy from more high end auctions like CNG or Roma. For reasons I can&#039;t explain, the bidding goes crazy on those.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a $45 budget you should be able to get a nice Postumus </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435130[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Or a very nice Victorinus</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435131[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Tetricus I and II saw the quality control at their mints go down the toilet, so there is a huge gap between &quot;nice&quot; and &quot;superb&quot; for them.
