<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1803247, member: 56859&quot;]Got my gluteus kicked in the Gorney &amp; Mosch auctions today and yesterday.&nbsp; Such grand plans... I spent so many hours studying the lots-- especially the 188 large mixed lots-- converting to USD, adding buyer&#039;s fees, estimating cost per coin at various price points, ranking my favorites, planning which ones were more important for bidding, yadda yadda yadda.&nbsp; Got up at 4 a.m. to bid on some.&nbsp; The large mixed lots hit the block during morning work hours today-- I had to juggle monitoring the action while working.&nbsp; I&#039;m exhausted, and for almost nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in the end I only hit &#039;bid&#039; a few times.&nbsp; By the time the large mixed lots were up most were already double the estimated price and many hammered at 3, 4, 10 times the estimate.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t get any of the large mixed lots I was after.</p><p><br /></p><p>[tail between legs]</p><p><br /></p><p>I did get a few things though and was happy to add to my flock of flying pigs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Forgive the heavily doctored photo-- this was a late addition to their auction and the picture was terrible-- low resolution and they&#039;d cropped some of the edges (I &#039;restored&#039; them in this photo).&nbsp; In a few weeks when I get the coin I&#039;ll do it justice with better photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s another peewee coin but the details are great.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]293337[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>IONIA, Klazomenai</b></p><p>AR diobol</p><p>1.00 gm</p><p>~500 BC</p><p>Obv:&nbsp; forepart of winged boar right</p><p>Rev:&nbsp; quadripartite incuse square; K in lower right square</p><p>Ref:&nbsp; (per seller) SNG München 451 K[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
