One of the coins I was after was a AV Dinara from Kanishka III who ruled over Taxilia/ while Vasu Deva II was King of the Kushan Empire. This coin ended up hammering for $3250+ fees. Today, I got my "coin review" from CNG. To my surprise they had even a nicer one for $1650 There are 12 known from this King. AV Dinara ND (main Mint in Taxilia) 7.78g. 21mm. 12h. Kushan Empire/ Taxilia obv: King standing left/ holding a filleted Standard/ sacrificing at Altar/ filleted Trident left/ "ga" to R of Altar/ "gho" between Legs/ "hu" R of Scepter rev: Siva standing/ facing holding Garland and Trident/ Bull "Nandi" standing behind/ Pellet above Tamgha.

John, those two coins were an outright steal compared to the Kushan gold coins auctioned at CNG Triton XXV .
