<p>[QUOTE="pprp, post: 4751264, member: 94602"]The coin is not from the same dies as the Jameson example. The ordering of letters of the magistrate's name is different. I suspect that whoever is interested to buy it is biased by the price hammered by the example below and so believes its a bargain. It's quite dangerous to use old hammer prices as a guide if you don't know the context. </p><p><a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nac/browse?a=712&l=751040" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nac/browse?a=712&l=751040" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nac/browse?a=712&l=751040</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As to why/if you got a deal from HA, you probably don't know the context. In the early 2010s HA was still ridiculed in discussions for the reason they were selling several fakes, so people avoided them. Furthermore, most probably still in 2014 they had the only domestic shipping policy. Meaning if you were from elsewhere, you had to arrange your own insurance for the coin packet they would post, or take the risk of getting it posted uninsured. So for example I collect fractions from abdera and I didn't even notice your coin as I totally ignored their auctions. Then I don't know how the coin looks in reallity. Is it silver white like in the photo of HA or does it have light toning like in your photo? It looks very unattractive in the photo of HA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
