[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2988678, member: 84744"]I picked up: 312 Gordian III as (I like middle bronzes and the Farnese) 341 Postumus ant (probably paid too much, but I've been looking for a nice Postumus portrait and was willing to pay extra for Aesculapius. I hope I'm not disappointed when I receive it, Frank's photos are not the best.) 436 Wiglaf penny (he sucked me in with the "presumably" before "fake", and now I at least have [I]something[/I] to put in that previously empty Mercia slot!) 465 Islamic ID fun! Here are some I was surprised by, though I wouldn't go as far as to say "what were they thinking?" After all, the winner might be a CT coin-friend, and I respect the wisdom of all of my coin-friends. :) 151 Tarsos, Mazaios stater $310 on 351 bid 160 Trikka obol $185 on 304 bid - this exact coin sold for $70 + fees in July 162 Aes rude $111 on 150 bid (I bid 35!) 188 Caesar elephant denarius $695 on 750 bid 193 Augustus posthumous dupondius $1375 on 2000 bid (wow!) 340 Macrianus ant. $450 on 450 bid (nice, but is it that nice?) Nice sestertius!! I'm glad I didn't bid you up on it, I certainly came close to doing so. Um, yeah, maybe we should refrain from all this chit-chat next time. :)[/QUOTE]
