<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 4750148, member: 71642&quot;]I have yet to fully embrace ancients collecting but I lurk, and I pick up the occasional piece, and have been doing so for a few years.&nbsp; Mostly just &#039;buy something that appeals&#039; has been my motto.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, much to my surprise a coin that I won at a Heritage auction in 2014, has now garnered TWO offers...I can&#039;t remember the first offer, but it was in the same ballpark as the one I&#039;m facing now.&nbsp; The offer, after fees, would be a bit more than double what I paid, including fees, just 6 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, I really like the coin (which is why I bought it).&nbsp; I like the mythological beasts.&nbsp; And, did not have any intention of selling it.&nbsp; That said, my collecting has taken a back seat to other concerns of late and my plan is to downsize...but ancients were not part of that plan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sooo....I guess my question is, is there something special about this coin that was unrecognized when I bought it (ie I got it for a steal), or have prices really gone up that much?&nbsp; I&#039;d hate to sell it and then be priced out if/when I get more organized into the ancient side of things and want a griffin like this back.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, I like it a lot, but does it deserve a special spot in a more &#039;serious&#039; collection?&nbsp;&nbsp; And what if that more serious collection is mine someday.&nbsp; Sellers remorse is real.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1160075[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And if anyone wants to be nosy (I sure would be) this is the auction link:&nbsp; <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-thrace-abdera-ca-395-360-bc-ar-tetrobol-289-gm-/a/3032-30046.s?type=moto-offer-seller-tem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-thrace-abdera-ca-395-360-bc-ar-tetrobol-289-gm-/a/3032-30046.s?type=moto-offer-seller-tem" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-thrace-abdera-ca-395-360-bc-ar-tetrobol-289-gm-/a/3032-30046.s?type=moto-offer-seller-tem</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
