<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3558360, member: 19463&quot;]Overpaid?&nbsp; Certainly I overpay for every coin I buy at auction.&nbsp; After all the auction winner is the person willing to pay more than all other bidders so everyone else must have thought the coin was worth less.&nbsp; This coin cost me a little over $7000.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]945926[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>OK, maybe the thing wasn&#039;t exactly all that expensive since it came as part of a group of 27 coins but I bid on the lot almost entirely for this coin.&nbsp; I do not really know how much I paid for the coin and 1/27th of the total is not a reasonable fraction.&nbsp; It makes no difference.&nbsp; I consider it a &#039;die with&#039; coin. It will not be sold. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the few who have not seen my previous posts, the coin shows Julia Domna and is dated LK using the numbers of Septimius Severus making the coin September 211 to August 212.&nbsp; The reverse shows Caracalla and Geta shaking hands.&nbsp; There are quite a few coins showing the two together while Septimius lived and made them play nice.&nbsp; This is the only coin I have seen struck after Septimius died hat shows the two together.&nbsp; Caracalla killed Geta 26 December 211 or less than four months into the LK period.&nbsp; How many were made?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know. How many exist?&nbsp; I have seen this one.&nbsp; I wanted the coin.&nbsp; We pay too much when we want something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
