[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3200795, member: 26302"]So yesterday was the big 50, and a favorite auction site had an auction that ended today. Naturally that means new purchases for me. Below is what I bought and my semi-rational reason for buying them. First is one I already owned, but a better example. I just posted it in a follow up on another thread.

[ATTACH=full]828370[/ATTACH] This is a Greek lot of 19 coins.
