<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 7755020, member: 92212&quot;]I placed a pre-snipe bid on just one lot, and came out on top. I&#039;ve wanted a portrayal of the ship known as <i>Corbita</i> in the 1st century, and this coin fits the bill. (On at least one of Paul&#039;s voyages as recorded in Acts, this is the likely type of vessel on which he travelled.) I&#039;ve had successful experiences removing the &quot;couple spots&quot; mentioned in the listing, and since I suspect those spots helped keep the hammer price down they are not overly concerning.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1328474[/ATTACH]</p><p>Nice portrait! And the obverse legend is 95% complete even though the first 40% is a bit faint. But it was the reverse <i>Corbita</i> I was wanting, and I&#039;m pleased with it for this price range. The dolphins in the waves are a nice bonus. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><a href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-2WB2SA/egypt-alexandria-nero-ad-54-68-bi-tetradrachm-235mm-1282-g-12h-dated-ry-13-ad-6667" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-2WB2SA/egypt-alexandria-nero-ad-54-68-bi-tetradrachm-235mm-1282-g-12h-dated-ry-13-ad-6667" rel="nofollow"><font size="3"><b>https://auctions.cngcoins.com/lots/view/4-2WB2SA/egypt-alexandria-nero-ad-54-68-bi-tetradrachm-235mm-1282-g-12h-dated-ry-13-ad-6667</b></font></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
