<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 7320930, member: 75525"]How did you spend your morning? I started mine watching Artemide Kunstauktionen e17. I bet you can't say that five times fast. The auction started with lot 500 and I targeted lot 721. I figured there was time to sleep late. I cut it closer than I planned. The first lot I saw when the computer warmed up was...... lot 721 with a second before closing. Fortunately the bid button worked fine and I picked up a one VNCIA weight with an archeic A. Most folks here are more interested in the unsold lot I picked up since postage was "free".</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1279486[/ATTACH] </p><p>Maximian (286-310). BI Antoninianus.
