Title: Cardiff Coin Fair Post by: staterchaser on October 08, 2011, 03:14:38 PM Unfortunatelly couldnt make the rally today but had an hour or two spare, so decided to call in at the Cardiff Coin Fair at City Hall. It was the first time for me and found it quite interesting with other collectables such as cigarrete cards, autographs etc. I took with me a couple of coins which I am looking to sell at the right price, two staters and a Roman Siliqua, each one extreemly fine. Two stalls were polite and said it wasnt for them, fine.
I knew the total value of the three was anything from £3k up which one of the stall holders confirmed. I walked over to another dealer who had a different story all together. Wait for it! The price he gave for the three was £320 :o :o :o He said they were common and of no real value. Dobunni Eisv Full Gold Stater £200, Atribatis Quater Stater £100 and Victor Flavius Siliqua £20. :o :o :o My look must have said it all, I thanked him for his time and walked away. Either he didnt have a clue what he was talking about or he was after a very very quick buck.As I walked away I couldnt resist looking back to make sure he didnt have a fin sticking out from his back. Oh and the stalls name SALTFORD COINS! ;) Title: Re: Cardiff Coin Fair Post by: Napoleon on October 08, 2011, 03:28:51 PM Wow 320 foe the three I thInk I would say to him it's your brain who doesn't have a value blOody clown People like that grrr, maybe that guy never seen a stater lol .

As you know they are worth £3000+ you would think he would have at least offered £2500 to make a quick £500 Rip Off merchart thanks for tip I will stay clear of that dealer Title: Re: Cardiff Coin Fair Post by: dances with badgers on October 08, 2011, 04:49:33 PM i'll give 345 and thats it :o

You did the right thing in walking away though fella. Well done sir.
