<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 1992328, member: 42034&quot;]Hi Tif &amp; Thanks for the compliment.&nbsp; It&#039;s good to know that others appeciate such pieces, even though there is a big temptation these days to just spend &quot;Moon Money&quot; and buy only &quot;investment quality&quot; pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of &quot;Moon Money&quot;, I did buy another higher grade item out of Roma, which was the below denarius.&nbsp; I have few Republican denarii and wanted this one for my son to use for show &amp; tell when he gets older for school.&nbsp; He&#039;s 5 &amp; a space/ solar system lover. Years ago I sold one of my few Republican denarii, a superb scarce Roma &amp; Italia issue &amp; always wanted something special w/ which to replace it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/Rome_Rep_den_Lucretius_RN_both_600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Below is the piece I&#039;ve really been looking for but recently these have gotten very expensive.&nbsp; This item came from the Roma auction but had a decent early bid.&nbsp; I bid via phone on the Goldberg specimen (not quite as nice as this one) about a month ago but came in 3rd place.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinsandhistory.com/pix_coin/Egypt_Syria_Cleo_tetradrachm_RN-9-2014_both_600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Given the current high price yet relative abundance of specimens, I think I can wait for lower prices, or at least for &quot;price stabilization&quot; on these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully &quot;AJ&quot; won&#039;t mind if we digress from admiring his aureus a little bit, but what piece did you get yesterday from RN?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
