<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2534021, member: 77704"]I wish! No, back in 2002 I was still collecting coins and butterflies/moths. I would wait all year for the CNG (Triton Auction) and save up accordingly. I first saw that coin in NFA auction (forget which one) but it realized $30KUS. When it was featured in Triton V it was for starting bid of $9KUS. I sent in my bid via letter post (had no internet/sixbid) back then. Three weeks later, I got notice I had won it for 10K! A similar coin of lesser grade recently realized 60KSwFrcs. So, it was a good deal. Weird as it sounds, my Aureus of Elagalabus which is ranked as "scarce" in Calico, some examples sold for more, even though the Diocletian is R-1. The most common Aureus is the Severus Alexander/Romulus on reverse, seem many in auction, still perfect ones go for 16-24K.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
