JayAg47 Posted December 5, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 5, 2022 After looking for this type on Vcoins for more than a year, this one just popped up today, only costs 4 times more than the coin I won at an eBay auction a couple months ago! Looks like these coins are getting expensive as the years pass! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted December 5, 2022 · Patron Share Posted December 5, 2022 I'd say you got a good deal, then! Comparable grade and eye-appeal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely higher grade than mine, but for nearly $400? I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted December 5, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 5, 2022 This is completely outside my area so I cannot determine if that coin is worth 375 dollars or 500 or 200. But I will repeat what a specialist told me when I was an absolute beginner in modern numismatics - 'don't rely too much on a price requested by a seller. You can use obtained prices at fixed sales or auctions and even those are sometimes irrelevant' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn235 Posted December 5, 2022 · Member Share Posted December 5, 2022 Nah, Ganga numismatics is almost always absurdly overpriced, often by a factor of 3-5 what the coins would fetch in an open auction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! But, they do have some really interesting coins at times. Some of the coins I recently purchased were from SARC and they were far cheaper than Ganga. $375 is ridiculous for that coin... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
