<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 3558237, member: 78411&quot;]My adrenaline really started pumping when I saw this relatively modest bronze at auction.&nbsp; Some of you may know I discussed this exact variety in my recent <a href="https://www.academia.edu/37588285/_Sophocles_Trachiniae_and_the_Apotheosis_of_Herakles_The_Importance_of_Acheloios_and_Some_Numismatic_Confirmations_KOINON_I_2018_1-29" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/37588285/_Sophocles_Trachiniae_and_the_Apotheosis_of_Herakles_The_Importance_of_Acheloios_and_Some_Numismatic_Confirmations_KOINON_I_2018_1-29" rel="nofollow"><i>KOINON</i> essay</a>. Sure, the obverse was scratched a bit and as a general type these are very common--but the varieties featuring Acheloios are not, and this is easily the second nicest example known.&nbsp; I put in a bid of 250 EUR assuming no one would come close--but it sold for precisely that amount (coincidence?).&nbsp; The seller might have felt bad that I &quot;overpaid&quot; because he included another nice bronze (different variety) in about the same condition as a bonus. I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t put in 500 EUR, which I would pay for this piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945888[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any coins you happily &quot;overpaid&quot; for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
