[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2543039, member: 76965"]I see that many are surprised with the difference in the prices being achieved by Phoenician shekels in general. I am not a collector of ancients and know very little about them but have recently acquired 3 Ozbaal/Azbaal (400-340BC) shekels which are in very good condition and graded at AU 4/5 and 4/5, MS 4/5 and 5/5 and finally MS 5/5 and 5/5. What I find confusing is that in Jan 2016 HA sold a CH AU 5/5 and 4/5 ($3055) for 4 times what I paid for my AU graded coin, 1.5 times what I paid for my first MS and almost what I paid for my best graded MS 5+5 coin. Am I missing something or was I just at the right place at the right time??? Here is my first MS coin [ATTACH=full]545234[/ATTACH] This is the CH AU coin that sold for 1.5 times the price in Jan 2016 [ATTACH=full]545240[/ATTACH] PLEASE TELL ME THAT IT WAS JUST BEGINNER'S LUCK!!![/QUOTE]
