<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2984711, member: 19463"]I wonder how many venues still allow this. I still have my carbon copy (young people will have to ask what that is) of my bid sheet for the Numismatic Fine Arts Fall 1990 Mail Bid Sale. On it I bid on eight primary lots with bids that totaled $1000. Below that I drew a line and offered 22 more bids asking I be allowed to bid on those only up to a total of $1000 including the winners from the eight. In the end, I won one of the eight and four from the second list. $1000 was a lot of money in 1990 (still is to me). They probably laughed their heads off at that bid sheet but I ended up with seven nice (by my standards) coins (one lot was three coins) and that was the whole idea. That inch thick catalog from a major dealer of the day i still a valued item in my collection. I only wish I had the cash then that I could have bought twice as much.</p><p>To make this post more coin related, I'll add a photo of the one primary bid that I wanted. The Julia Domna as was $125 + 10% in 1990. Can you show me another sold since? These are common in denarii, available in sestertii and no one else wanted the as. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]734981[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
