giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 08:18 am Hi everybody,after a bit of stop I would like to show you my new purchase. Valerian I (253-260). Sestertius. R/ CONCORDIA[...]. Concordia left with patera and double cornucopia.weight 18.85g. Even if in not so good condition I decided to buy it because I think it's rare find a setertius of valerian, maybe I'm wrong...however tell me your opinion and how much do you think it would be equitable pay for it.(thenI'll say how much I've paid) thanks Edited by giano 03/04/2012 08:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 12:41 pm The coin is well-worn, but being well-struck and centered does help From what I've seen, most of these are struck on rectangular flans, weighing less than yours. I'm guessing you got this for a good price, like 25 euros? Report this Post to the Staff

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 07:16 am A lot of this question is whether or not the seller knew it was a Valerian and whether or not he knew sestertii of Valerian are harder to find than the silver. That would allow a span of $5 to $20. Report this Post to the Staff
giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 10:56 am thanks again for reply. Dougsmit is right, here in Italy if you buy from a reputable and serious seller( as I always do), he always knows what he's selling to you, even because Italian law requires a certificate of legal origin behind each coin compiled with the name of the coin, and the name of the Emperor. So I repeat valuable seller always knows what are selling to you. Dvcollector was right with the price,25€ for this coin(nearly 33$) I hope I did well to get it, perhaps hoping to have a better one in the future.... Report this Post to the Staff
