[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 1846173, member: 44357"]I did consider this piece but did some homework on the debate between whether or not it is really a map and the consensus seems to be that it [I]is not [/I]a map, at least from the dealers I spoke with. I have to agree with TIF's beautiful examples - those are some stunning coins. I saw the first at NYINC yesterday and it is even more beautiful in person. I nearly bid on the second coin when it was sold at Nomos but I hadn't seen it in hand and was suspicious of the low bid (perhaps there was something not visible in the pictures). The style is indeed spectacular and a type I would definitely like to acquire at some point. As for CNG, I struck out on all of my bids, some of which were for 6x the estimate. Perhaps we should make a thread of all of the coins we tried to acquire and failed? :)[/QUOTE]
