<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2499821, member: 76194&quot;]You can find all those coins for $20-$30 in XF grade, and even less for VF and F examples. These are common rulers, and many of their coins even in XF can be easily found for little money.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as far as the Islamic silver coins pictured, one of them I got for $30 despite being a 9th century silver coin, and this 2,300 to 2,400 year old Greek silver obol below I got for $45. I even have some Roman Imperial silver coins I&#039;ve gotten from $45-$65 featuring well known Emperors like Caracalla, Philip I, Gordian III, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because some coins are ancient, it doesn&#039;t make them expensive. All the prices quoted below are from purchases I made this year (2016). All are ancient silver, and much rarer than most US silver coins you routinely see people paying hundreds of dollars for.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530253[/ATTACH]</p><p>Masailles obol (4rth century BC) Paid $45.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530256[/ATTACH]</p><p>Alexander Severus denarius, paid $54 including auction house fees and shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530257[/ATTACH]</p><p>Caracalla denarius, paid $62 including auction house fees and shipping.
