    One of the coins I was after was a AV Dinara from Kanishka III who ruled over Taxilia/ while Vasu Deva II was King of the Kushan Empire.
    This coin ended up hammering for $3250+ fees.
    Today, I got my "coin review" from CNG. To my surprise they had even a nicer one for $1650
    There are 12 known from this King.

    AV Dinara ND (main Mint in Taxilia) 7.78g. 21mm. 12h.
    Kushan Empire/ Taxilia
    obv: King standing left/ holding a filleted Standard/ sacrificing at Altar/ filleted Trident left/ "ga" to R of Altar/ "gho" between Legs/ "hu" R of Scepter
    rev: Siva standing/ facing holding Garland and Trident/ Bull "Nandi" standing behind/ Pellet above Tamgha.

    John, those two coins were an outright steal compared to the Kushan gold coins auctioned at CNG Triton XXV :smuggrin:.
