Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7564742, member: 19463"]I am all for waiting but stretched a point quite a bit when I paid $150 for this Providentia in 2016.  This specimen sold in CNG sale 345 (lot 511) at $80+fluff.  <a href="https://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=511&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER_FROM=511&ITEM_DESC=&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_NAME=345&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=511&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER_FROM=511&ITEM_DESC=&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_NAME=345&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1" rel="nofollow">https://cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?IS_ADVANCED=1&ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER=511&ITEM_LOT_NUMBER_FROM=511&ITEM_DESC=&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1&TABS_TYPE=2&CONTAINER_NAME=345&CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&VIEW_TYPE=0&MAX_COUNT=10000&PAGE=1</a> Note that was against a $100 estimate so the coin did not appeal to the big boys who drive up CNG prices.  We pay too much when we want something. 550 GBP is absurd. [ATTACH=full]1304331[/ATTACH] My 'best' Divus is my Caracalla sestertius.  A few years back there was a slightly nicer die duplicate that failed to sell at what I considered too much at the time.  Today, I wish I had bought it so I had them both.  Mine has been BD free for 25 years but shows how such things were treated in the old days.
