<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 7785458, member: 41219&quot;]I actually won 3 and was totally not expecting to win any. I did the Ron Popiel method of &quot;set it and forget it&quot; prebids. Most of them were blown out of the water before the auction even started. </p><p><img src="https://media.tenor.com/images/a9b72d52863b3ae0eafac6adbc2cc82b/tenor.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, I thought all of my prebids were outbid so off I went to take a nap with the youngest tadpole. Imagine my surprise when I woke up to an invoice email haha. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are the 3 I won and I couldn&#039;t be happier:</p><p><br /></p><p>I <u><b>LOVE</b></u> Alexandrian Tets and I don&#039;t yet have a Phillip.</p><p><img src="https://media.biddr.com/media/img/auction_lots/1857/2024433_1624959661.l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>EGYPT, Alexandria: Philip I (244-249).

I fell in love with it immediately and did lots of researched on previously sold coins to try and get a good idea of what they sold for. My prebid was blown out of the water and I had to let him go.&nbsp; Probably better for my marriage that I did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://the-hollywood-gossip-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--8IYJf4WY--/t_full/cs_srgb,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1497610273/dawson-cryig.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Beautiful Nero hemidrachm</p><p><img src="https://media.biddr.com/media/img/auction_lots/1857/2024029_1624959087.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now comes the hard part of waiting for them to arrive in my mailbox![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
