Caesar New Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 18 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 12:28 pm Sold for 32,000 CHF. Maybe a little more than I expected considering the situation. I believe that in the future this coin will worth a lot more, just a few things to do first. But for me personally, what I wanted, that's what I got. Many thanks to Coin Community, I have a feeling that this forum contributed a lot to the good price. Have some reasons to believe that, but I'll keep it for myself, just in case I'm wrong. And thanks for all good advices. So long, and many good findings to all. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 12:45 pm £21k? Thats great! Well done. I dont think that it could climb much higher than that. You should buy a copper one and spray it gold as a memento. The paint could be stripped pretty easily at a later date before people flip. Report this Post to the Staff

It could, if buyer want to make some real profit. But I'm just a simple peasant, and I wouldn't know what to do with 100000 € so I was aiming 20000 €, that's ok for me. But, once this coin is recorded, properly cleaned and introduced to world...then it will be a different story. You see, it's tough to determine price for something what you can't compare, but for that price I saw many other gold Diocletian in worse condition, and not at all so rare ones. And this one is so rare that it shouldn't exist - AU 16mm, 2.67 g. Silver dies strucked Diocletian. That is something new for history books. And exactly the book is what could raise value of this unique specimen. But that is now on someone else. I wish him luck. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/17/2013 9:52 pm Coins DO in fact, turn up occasionally, for which no equivalent catalogue number can be found. However, such coins can even stump the best of numismatic describers. I would like to discuss with the person who described it, and to which numismatic peer(s) he refers to for verification. Normally, these sorts of unusual coins are referred to some erudite organization, such as the British Museum, or the Bibliotheque Nationale. They would certainly like to know of the existence of such a coin, at least for a third party verification, and to be included in their catalogue system. That sort of information and research behind it should have been included in the lot description, but I see that it hasn't. That makes me curious. Scientific research is always reviewed by peers before publication. Edited by sel_69l 05/17/2013 9:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
