Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1824487, member: 19463"]I am starting to wonder about the original description that started this thread. "Approximately 93 pieces in lot. Comprised of mostly bronze coinage from throughout the Greek world, and silver and bronze issues from the Roman Empire. Of note is an AE Sestertius of Pompey the Great with a Janiforic portrait obverse, an AE Sestertius of Vespasian and a new style Athens Tetradrachm. Several pieces with rough or tooled surfaces. Also includes a copy Decadrachm. Should be examined closely. SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS.VERY GOOD-VERY FINE."Where are the junkers?  Where are the rough and tooled other than the Augustus sestertius?  I'm starting to share Vlaha's question which I'll paraphrase: "And you were complaining about what?"  The cost of the lot worked out to under $20 a coin.  So far we may have seen a coin or two worth $20 and a pile worth $50 to $100 unless the photos are failing to show problems.  Out of 93 coins, we are nearing the break even point if the rest are worse than the Gallus.[/QUOTE]
