Yeah, four people with way too much money.

 

Dunno about the details but dang thats alot. Still whoever got it is lucky. Hopefully it went to a collector who will appreciate it and not some investor for a portfolio.

 

One among the three remaining may be more lucky soon :

Q

PS : I'm not intending to bid anything on it

 

They need to find a hoard of 184,000 of them so us regular folk can get one

 

I believe there are 54 known, (that number simply comes to mind). Not rare for an ancient, but of course the subject matter makes it one of the singularly most important ancients in existence. I would pay that kind of money for this coin over an Octodrachm.
