Three from Troas (Alexandria Troas)

wow => that's a great coin, Doug ... geesh, that's a cool Troas example (man, that would have fit very nicely in my Tyche collection, eh?)

=> or apparently => Obverse: Alexandria Troas??

... oh well, too bad that you were outbid (oh well, and yes => that's a bit too steep for me as well) ....

.... ummm, unless I was sippin' wine (ummm, so I'm sure that I would have tried for that sweetie!!)



arrghhh ... good luck next time!!

Wasn't me. I'm striving to be the underbidder on some Triton coins .

 

Nice but pricey! If I were to try for an expensive one from this city, it would be the one with the drunken Herakles/Silenus Dance reverse. Though at EUR 50 this one would have been a steal!

 

Good luck! So many cool coins there, hope you find some success.

 

Looking at the Provincial reserves from that sale, EUR50 estimates were very common and usually exceeded vastly. Of course there is about 18% total add ons for premium and postage depending on how many coins share the postal load. As long as everyone bids with these facts in mind, all is well.

I notice that Pecunem offers a choice when paying with Paypal of paying in dollars or Euros. If someone in the US pays in Euros, the Paypal charge is converted by Paypal but if you pay in dollars, I assume Pecunem converts before the total bill is figured. Does anyone know if it makes a difference in terms of one being cheaper?

 

=> Dude, if you have to ask, then don't bother bidding!!

 

I had always thought that when the option of two currencies was offered in PayPal, if you choose the US currency where the original price was non-US, then it was PayPal who determined the conversion rate (to ostensibly 'help' you lock-in the conversion rate). But if you pay in the original currency, then it is your credit card company that determines the conversion at their rates and you won't know what that is until you get your bill. I could be wrong. I never tried to find out which was cheaper as I figured it could go either way but not by a large percentage.
