w00zi Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 7:28 pm I picked these up on the bay for what I believe to be a decent price. I trust the seller as I have purchased from them in the past and have verified the authenticity using a 300x microscope so the authenticity is not a real issue. Just curious but what would or have others paid for coins in this condition (these are the sellers images). Otacilia Severa AR Antoninianus. MARCIA OTACIL SEVERA AVG, diademed, draped bust right on crescent / CONCORDIA AVGG, Concordia seated left with patera & double cornucopiae. RIC 119b, RSC 9. Grade ~VF+ Gordian III AR Antoninianus. IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / FELICIT TEMP, Felicitas standing left with caduceus & cornucopiae. RIC 140, RSC 71.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 7:59 pm Both coins are nice. I looked up the Otacilia on both Vcoins and Numismall. It looks like the few for sale are selling between $60 and $100. But I would put in that I bought an Otacilia RIC 130 last June for $21 including shipping. The Gordian III looks to be selling in the range of $45 to $75; however, once again I have a very nice Gordian III Denarius, RIC 67, I purchased last May for $17.50 including shipping.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 8:37 pm Two very nice well struck coins. Based on condition I would have no problem paying $75-$80 for the OC, and $50 for thw GIII. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 09:05 am Both good quality coins, I be surprised if you got them for less than $150, $100 of that going on the Otacilia. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 11:53 am I have both coins, and I think yours are excellent, and in very good condition. I think you did well. Just out of curiosity what is the weight of the OC coin. I have a rather heavy example. Report this Post to the Staff
w00zi Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 3:40 pm The OC weighs 4.2 grams. I purchased the OC for $60 and the GIII for $85.0. Report this Post to the Staff

bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 4:11 pm If anything I would have expected the prices to be the other way around - ancients hey! Edited by bobbyhelmet 01/23/2013 4:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
w00zi Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 5:29 pm I have noticed that my gordianIII coin still has mint luster on the reverse. Is this common? I have also inspected the coin under the microscope and I am certain the coin was struck while semi-molten as the flow lines on the obverse are quite apparent.
