<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3558415, member: 98035&quot;]Possibly my favorite ancient coin; I paid about double ($100) the average price for an XF Caracalla (especially considering the worn reverse!) I just had to have the lifelike snarl complete with scrunched nose!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]945942[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I normally get excellent deals on my Indo-Sassanian coins; the average example set me back less than $10. Rarely do any trigger bidding wars - I have only lost out on maybe five coins when it came to a bidding war.</p><p><br /></p><p>A recent win that arrived yesterday; a degenerate Pratihara &quot;Sri Ma&quot; with stylized Kalasha; the only one I&#039;ve ever seen in this style. Bid $90, won for $77. More pedestrian types usually go for not more than $20.[ATTACH=full]945943[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Won this in a lot of three coins for $60; the other two were nothing special. This one is one of the most exaggerated &quot;Neanderthal&quot; types of early Gadhaiya (1.2.7) I&#039;ve ever seen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]945944[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>From the same seller; same day - I won this one for about $35 on a $50 bid; a delightful double strike. It was a hard day on the wallet.[ATTACH=full]945946[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one that had been sitting on ebay for at least four years when I finally bought it, $100 or best offer. It is the only one of the type (&quot;Distinctive nose&quot;) to show the moon that I have ever seen. Made many offers, seller wouldn&#039;t budge from $50. Finally sucked it up and paid</p><p>[ATTACH=full]945950[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
