<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3250148, member: 19463&quot;]How you managed the exactly 11 wins is beyond me.&nbsp; I have to wonder if the &quot;generous bid&quot; was $111.&nbsp; I do guarantee that if I were to ever start up an auction house, I&#039;d be certain it would be on January 1 and lot 1 would be a dekadrachm. </p><p><br /></p><p>All my coins are bought for silly reasons.&nbsp; Ask anyone who does not collect and many who do.&nbsp; I can&#039;t pick one silly enough to post here so I&#039;ll show #1.&nbsp; It was not my first coin.&nbsp; I collected for quite a while before I started numbering acquisitions in a catalog. When I did, I placed my then 20 Greek coins in alphabetical order and this one came out #0001.&nbsp; All that means is that on that day, I had no coins from Aa or Ab places and did not consider Elis more important as a city name than the League ID.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still have 3/4 of those 20 coins and have never been tempted to dispose of #1 because I like the style of the Zeus head.&nbsp; </p><p>Achaean League, Elis,&nbsp; Ar hemidrachm:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]852565[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
