[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8194109, member: 118780"]VCoins and ma-shops [I]can[/I] be higher priced than auctions, but it's also often the other way around. Too many times have I seen a coin bid up too high because the bidders weren't aware of the going price. In particular, I've often found better deals at vcoins/ma-shops for some of the rarer bronzes. These may go very high at some auctions, but are often reasonably priced on VCoins. For higher-end silvers, these are usually cheaper at auction, but not always. Arguably my nicest coin (the front page of my [URL='http://ancientcoinstories.com/']site[/URL]) was purchased from an ma-shops seller (CGB) for a fraction of what it would go at auction these days. FWIW, the only Gallic coins I have were purchased from Roma at the minimum bid. Unfortunately I haven't photographed them yet.[/QUOTE]
