<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harry G, post: 7760253, member: 105282&quot;]Hi all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I just bid on my third &quot;proper&quot; auction, and thought I&#039;d share a few of the coins I won. This is actually the first time I&#039;ve won individual lots (as opposed to group lots) at auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bear in mind my budget is very limited (which is why I mostly buy on eBay lol), so these are not all fantastic condition examples <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The prices for this auction were pretty decent in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Elagabalus antoninianus - my first one of him</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330332[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t go wrong with a Gordian III antoninianus...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330333[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And how about another one?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330334[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Quietus antoninianus - my first coin of him. Pretty poor condition, but that was what my budget allowed <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330335[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Vabalathus &amp; Aurelian antoninianus. This one was from the &quot;Tareq Hani Collection&quot;, and has a nice portrait of Aurelian, but the Vabalathus side is somewhat weakly struck</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330336[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>_____________________________________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There were a few other coins I <i><b>didn&#039;t</b></i> win, but thought I&#039;d mention. I sadly didn&#039;t win the Smyrna Claudius II antoninianus, which has an obverse die match to one of my coins</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330337[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also thought about bidding on the antoninianus of Nigrinian they had listed. It sold for a surprisingly reasonable 220EUR, but I thought the obverse (particularly the bust) looked a bit strange, and decided against bidding (220EUR is a very large amount of money for me, and I would hate to have bought it only to find out it was tooled or fake)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1330338[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Show me some of your coins you bought from Savoca![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
