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  Shocked  Shocked  Shocked 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.  Shocked  Shocked  Shocked
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! Wink

Tell you what Ceri I will give you £321 come on you know you want to give them to me 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

Have looked at the Website for this company Ceri and quite a few of his products are way over priced but he has a couple of Iceni silver units that look under priced. You did the right thing in walking away though fella. Well done sir.
