<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4303626, member: 97383&quot;]Have you ever searched a long time for a coin you wanted, found it, and then a short time later found a better one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? This happened to me recently, but not the first time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. For a long time I had been searching for a tetradrachm of Trebonianus Gallus with a nice looking portrait and spotted one in the Heritage auction on January 28, 2020, see photo below. I won the coin for a bargain price of $99.00, including the buyers premium <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My most important criteria was a nice looking portrait. And 49 days later a coin with a better portrait appears at auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Usually I just shrug my shoulders, bite my lip and forget about it, but this time I didn&#039;t <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I was determined to sit thru another auction and buy the 2nd coin if it wasn&#039;t much more than the 1st coin, see the photo below. Lady luck was on my side and I won the coin for only $69.00 more than the 1st coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;ll probably trade or sell the 1st coin....</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095026[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095027[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095028[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1095029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
