<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 7571244, member: 96898&quot;]That is insanity. For comparison, my coin below is the same type and mint (different officina, but that matters only to very few people). It is of high grade and in some aspects might even surpass the Heritage example: it has a larger flan, more complete legends, more detail on the Victories&#039; faces, better style, and natural green patina. On the other hand, the Heritage coin has a tiny bit less wear, but the difference is small in my eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Much of what I wanted to say has already been stated by Doug above while I was typing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought mine from a well-respected dealer last year for about $40 shipped. That&#039;s roughly 5% of what the Heritage example hammered for before fees and shipping.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1305419[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Magnentius, Roman Empire, AE2, 352 AD, Trier mint.
