<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 6961307, member: 86498"]Pprp made a hypothesis but I believe it to be incorrect. The coin was from a J Gomer collection and it along with some 33 other Greek coins were sold in Triton XXI. The coins ranged from fairly large group from Greek Italy to a couple of electrum staters from Kyzikos. It looks like the collector was simply selling either all or part of his collection. My suspicion is that my coin "fell between the cracks". I have similar things happen to me in an auction though not with such a spectacular loss. In one auction I had two siligua of the later empire both were estimated at $100 dollars. The first one died got one bid so it sold at $60.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The second one went for $600 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1273585[/ATTACH] Valentinian II Ar Siliqua Lugdunum mint <span style="color: #ff0000">This is no longer my coin</span> I should note that auctions are basically a crap shoot.
