This is just a head’s up in case anyone is interested. I’ve talked to a couple collectors who are looking for specific legions so maybe this is a good place to look? HA has a huge lot of at a few dozen Mark Antony legionary denarii coming up for auction this week. I am hoping I can get one myself. None of them are MS or anything super high grade like that but at least it keeps things somewhat affordable.
I’m not advertising. I’m giving a heads up. Advertising implies that somehow I’m making money off spreading the word. Or trying to promote something. I’m not.
I disagree. There's nothing wrong whatsoever with calling people's attention to the fact that there are a lot of legionary denarii available in an upcoming Heritage auction. People mention upcoming auctions all the time. It's very different from the frowned-upon practice you mentioned in another thread. And it seems to me that you're the one misusing terminology here -- this is neither advertising nor hype, both of which imply a personal interest in the result.
I am surprised its 3am in NYC and you are still up, @DonnaML - i am glad my post sparked your interest
I just figured there must be Mark Antony legion denarius collectors here. It’s just such a cool theme I knew there had to be at least a few. Since I knew that I figured all of them should be aware of this unusually large lot coming up for auction. Before I posted I asked myself “Would I want someone to tell me if a large lot of coins I’m interested in came up for auction?” The answer was yes so I shared what I saw since if even 1 person who didn’t know about it knows now I think it’s worth it. Like if there was a huge lot of many different Emperors denarii coming up I would appreciate someone posting it letting me know since I am trying to collect all the Emperors.
