Greetings.
Found this Antonius Pius denarius on VCOINS for $89.
Sadly my coin collection is lacking when it comes to second century denarii , so with your help lets see if we can't change that . Is this a good purchase ?

It's a nice coin, but a little on the high end AP's denarius are plentiful and common. If you shop around I'm sure you can find one much cheaper. The one I use for my avatar was bought on ebay a few years ago for $25.

You have a good point. The problem is that most denarii I have been able to find of Pius are very worn down or off centered . Bad luck I suppose :(

Zurqieh who also sells on Vcoins has several nice ones on ebay that you may want to check out. I haven't done any business with him but he has been on Vcoins for a long time.

I agree that paying close to $100 is big money for Antoninus !
Being the greatest "Mr Niceguy" of all time and reigning for twenty years he usually sells for far less than most emperors.

I was going to recommend checking a very reliable source from Hispania (Antonio) but a quick look shows that the source already provided has a much larger selection !

I will provide a link anyway ......
He will usually accept reasonable best offers when the option is provided (75% is usually enough to fly !)

Hey Augustus Maximus, I tried to send you a PM but your email is not up on the forum. I would like to discuss an Ant Pius Marcus Aurelius Denarius I have that you might find interesting.
