<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2784823, member: 87761&quot;][ATTACH=full]645162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]645164[/ATTACH]I recently complained that I&#039;d never found acceptable Julius Caesars at acceptable prices. Today I found three at a coin fair, so I grabbed the opportunity. They were new acquisitions from two different dealers I&#039;ve bought from before, not yet put out. I think I got them for about wholesale prices, certainly less than even the hammer prices I&#039;ve seens at recent auctions. None is brilliant and one is poor, though it looks better in hand. The flan on the elephant is, well elephantine. I don&#039;t actually mind these in weaker condition, because they&#039;re not the most artistic coins, and prices are already inflated because, well, Julius Caesar. I like mixing grades in my collection. I try to pick and choose when to pay the premium, and I&#039;ve got some really high-grade Republicans. I quite like these, but grateful for other views. Be brutal![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
