<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 8321369, member: 75525&quot;]I had a good day watching the Roma E95 auction. I was interested in several lots. I do not remember if others have posted Roma coin wins here. [USER=105282]@Harry G[/USER] posted that he had trouble. I bid &quot;early&quot; on mine and watched the bid increase by a factor of 3, but it stopped a couple of steps below my max bid, whew.</p><p>The RR cast bronze I wanted most arrived in the mail today.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1474033[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republic, Anonymous Cast As.
