MarvelousMarv New Member United Kingdom 14 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 10:19 pm Hey guys. Thought I'd post an update on some recent additions to my collection in the last few months. I feel I did some really good deals here for the money I paid. But maybe some not so great...I don't know?! Still no real focus, I'm just trying to get as many different emperors as I can that fit into a tight budget! Hope you like!! Part 1 of my collection: https://goccf.com/t/144787 Valens Constantine Maxentius Ostia Mint Maximianus Carinus Tet Phillip I (kinda rough shape - I know, but its my first sestertius!) Diocletian Aurelian Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 09:43 am Nice examples! Okay, I'll have a go at guessing, but the following is more based on what I have realised in sales of my coins and from seeing the prices realised on ebay: Valens=£1 Constantine=£4 Maxentius=£20 Maximian=£4 Carinus=£10 Philip=£14 Diocletian=£12 Aurelian=£2 Edited by Masis 04/27/2013 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
MarvelousMarv New Member United Kingdom 14 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 10:11 am Hi masis I wish your prices were close, I'd have a much bigger collection. Unfortunately they were nearly all more except the sestertius you were very close Edited by MarvelousMarv 04/27/2013 10:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 11:59 am Marv, did you buy them at Coin Fairs? Then the prices will be A LOT MORE than the prices realised in ebay. For example, the first coin of Valens, a nice example, but from the very common Siscia mint. If I was selling it I would be lucky to realise £1 for it. At a Coin Fair it would likely be different.

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 12:23 pm Masis, can you really only get £1 for that?! Its in immaculate grade. Id call it £10. EDIT: P.S. I particularly like the tet! Edited by Ben 04/27/2013 12:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 04/27/2013 1:32 pm I'd say $5-$10 for the Valens. Dealers may try to sell it for $15-$20. Report this Post to the Staff
