<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8652774, member: 26302&quot;]So an auction closed yesterday. There were two things I really wanted, so of course did not get those, (got some others but not the prizes I was eyeing). However, I kept getting drawn back to this one group lot, I don&#039;t know why. [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] might like this one. [ATTACH=full]1518888[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I was simply mesmerized by the Sabina middle second row. IDK why, but the artistry on the issue simply looks haunting to me, like I can read her thoughts 1900 years later. I do also like the two Faustina issues. The left top row has fantastic hair detail and drapery, (also has a fantastic reverse), but the bottom right I find interesting in that its the same portrait effectively but a big difference in closer up portrait and how it changes the dynamic of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, after buying it, got to thinking of why we buy what we buy. I do not normally collect Roman silver, not finding it compelling, but for some reason wanted to buy this particular Sabina like it was haunting me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER], what empress is middle top? I don&#039;t know her off the top of my head.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
