caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 4:04 pm Private collector just dispatched me an offer of 12,000 for coin! However, my gut is to hold this Hadrian for a few years at least? Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 4:50 pm Depends on how attached you are to a coin that you do not have in hand yet. If it was me and I was offered ~6500 profit 24 hours later I would be looking up registered mail and insurance prices. 6500 buys a lot of denarii. Makes you wonder why they didn't just bid you up in the auction. Edit: It is an awesome coin by the way Edited by Whizb4ng 05/14/2015 4:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
caesar77 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 4:56 pm I am of course puzzled as well. The last one of these sold for 10k over two years ago. Earlier in the year someone offered to pay me twice what I had paid for a Galba I had won. I suppose not everyone is as keen and diligent when it comes to all the auctions.

Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 5:38 pm Every year millions of "new" dollars are printed... how many aureus are minted per year? 0 Edited by Athalbert 05/14/2015 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
orfew Pillar of the Community Canada 1269 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 5:58 pm Holding on to it is not a bad idea. As Athalbert said, they are not making anymore. However, if I had several holes to fill in my collection I would be tempted to sell. I am trying to build the twelve Caesars set in silver and know that claudius and caligula will be expensive. I might just sell that coin to build my set, especially since such a large profit could be made. In the end you have to do what feels right. Report this Post to the Staff
markbaer Valued Member Canada 242 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 6:54 pm Beautiful coin caesar. Can I ask which auction/where you bought it from? Did you go in person to buy it? Report this Post to the Staff
Whizb4ng Pillar of the Community Canada 579 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 8:33 pm Quote: Every year millions of "new" dollars are printed... how many aureus are minted per year? 0 Yes but with the profit alone from this coin he could buy himself another equally pleasing aureus and have some change left over.
