<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2117588, member: 19463&quot;]The one you like was a recent purchase from the last CNG electronic sale.&nbsp; I got it because it was beneath the notice of most of their clientele.&nbsp; It cost well over&nbsp; the others combined bringing up that old question as to whether we buy only high grade coins or more coins.&nbsp; You could have outbid me for it.&nbsp; As it closed, I was expecting someone would but a nice thing about high price auctions is that there are often a few coins where consignor dreams are trumped by bidder apathy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another hut from Saturday&#039;s Baltimore show is the more common Constans, more ordinary Heraclea mint and only Scarce in RIC (meaningless but people ask) but I paid 1/4 the price of the one you like just to stop it from being bullied by the other coins who are rough on patinated coins.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t easy being green.&nbsp; I bought it partly because the poor light at the show made me miss the really stubby branch (at the E of TEMP).&nbsp; I thought this might make this out of the ordinary for a Heraclea tree but it is still there and my hopes were dashed.&nbsp; It is still the best of my few from that mint. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]401119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
