<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2141106, member: 19463&quot;]I took a bag full of duplicates that no one else had wanted to the show yesterday and found a dealer willing to allow me trade credit from his stock at a rate I considered reasonable.&nbsp; His coins were generally priced double what I would pay and he was allowing me nearly that much more than I really expected.&nbsp; There were only two &#039;good&#039; coins in the bunch and a lot of late Romans that I had nicer in my collection but were still decent coins.&nbsp; No dealer wants a bunch of $10-30 coins it seems but this one did.&nbsp; The problem was that he did not have enough coins I really needed so I bought a few things just to make the deal work.&nbsp; Below is my third Nero Janus as.&nbsp; All three are different varieties.&nbsp; This is the less common one with the temple facing to the left so I can justify having all three.&nbsp; I really wish one were a sestertius but those seem to sell for four times the as which almost seems appropriate if you think about it.&nbsp; Altogether, 8 of the 25 coins that came from the show were part of this trade.&nbsp; This was the nicest one in many terms.&nbsp; At least it is better than the 50 or so coins I had to pay for the 8.&nbsp; Now I have almost no trade stock but I suspect going through the collection would turn up replacements if I needed some. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nero copper as - RIC 309</p><p>My other two and the story behind them are on my page if anyone cares to look.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f42.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f42.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f42.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]409588[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
