Quite a nice coin, I reckon. I bought to sell, unfortunately. How much do you guys reckon its worth, before I tell you what I bought it for?   (A bit of victory's face visible)   Pictures again taken via a camera phone. Hopefully, ill get a nice profit from it and will be able to keep a couple of the coins I've been bringing in recently. |

Nice coin Ben.....someone has taken a BBB to it from what I can make out, so may detract a little from the value.....Anyones guess as you know, depends who is watching the auction and how much they want it, some go for silly money. I sold a Gloria exercitus once for over £80 on ebay, because 2 bidders just had to have it. |

BBB?
Im not heavily invested. If you want a pop at it, I'd pass it on to you for a small profit for me (your client base will be larger).

Bought to sell,, well then I hope you got it for a very good price to make good profit. From my own experience mostly I dont earn a lot on those coins because of all the extra costs: shipping, own shipping to get it, ebay +/-8%, paypal 3,4%. Thats why I buy some coins on ebay and sell them at a free market place or vice versa. But of course we have to be lucky AND dont forget to make decent photos, it will sell better than with phone pictures Edited by Dutchgulden

brass bristle brush. Used frequently to get dirt off, but bad choice as it scratches and you can always see a 'tooled' coin close up in a macro and especially a super macro shot. very true about a good photo as it will raise the price of a coin tenfold ...... I sometimes look out for badly photographed coins on ebay , buy them, take better pics and resell. Did it with the Philip elephant sestertius, bought for £48 sold for £260!! |

This was on ebay with a poor photo/title combination, but I bartered outside of the Bay for it. quite happy with it, very nice looking in hand. |

May be worth getting yours to auction when his is finished as there will be a disgruntled losing bidder or two waiting for another......
I was going to wait for another free listing weekend to kickstart my next run of sales, but the bank manager thinks otherwise.

I listed it already at a silly large price for best offer...hopefully someone will try a comparatively lowballed offer.

Ben, will give you a quid for it.  You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....
