Finn good advice Quote: Sellers who don't like to risk it might start coins for a higher starting price, which results in less competition and less sense of urgency. That highrating_ridiculousprice guy is well ridiculous I saw him on an episode of Pawn Stars with a Julius Caesar Denarius and guess what he was asking too much Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 04/17/2018 9:26 pm Are you using all 41 country-specific ebay sites or only American ebay (.com)? If you are only scraping data from ebay.com, the results will naturally skew toward the US as both importer and exporter. Report this Post to the Staff
dzautner New Member Finland 6 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 08:23 am @Irbguy I'm afraid my math skills were way off when submitting the article (: 194 of daily new listings would not account for the 250,00 listings indeed. I will re-check and update the article. as per the "new world" exclusion, It was an attempt to see if I could see clearer genuine finds per country, but as you can see that didn't really work out as some European countries are still large trading hubs of coins that have circulated through many countries (or completely fake ones, as I suspect the case is with the Balkans and Ukraine). But I figured submitting disappointing information would still be of interest (i.e, there is no clear correlation between the Empire's borders and the current location of the coins, at least not with naïve aggregation like this). What sort of breakdown by locale would you find more interesting? I am trying to collect more ideas for the future of the research. Report this Post to the Staff

I am trying to collect more ideas for the future of the research. I. currencies Thank you for asking. First a couple of observations. One of the sellers I have worked with several times, frequently offers the same material simultaneously as separate lots based on the currency for payment. I have seen simultaneous listings of a coin in dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, and British Pounds. In more than a few cases, the cost of the coin after conversion to dollars can be cheaper than it is if bought with dollars outright. So it pays to shop around between the currencies. II. specialties when I am looking for coins of a particular figure, such as Julia Domna, I do various kinds of searches in ebay.com for her material. However, I am ignorant of what might be offered from the international vendors who do not sell through ebay.com. Nor am I inclined to search each international "version" of ebay for listings, unless there is a high probability o finding something the .com venue is not listing. I don't know how to sort all that out, but it may be there is an algorithm that will group offerings from ALL ebay sites and give me the option to search as many as have relevant new offerings day by day.
