<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1428818, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry I didn&#039;t see you or Riff Hiddendragon. I was there most of the day. </p><p><br /></p><p>For my story, I bought three books, (new Hendin, new Album, and a book on Persian coinage). I walked around not really sure what I was even interested in buying. I get that way at shows sometimes, especially CICF where there is so much available. Well, after a few passes at Berk&#039;s pick bin and it being busy, finally I stopped and waited. Then I noticed I knew one of the two guys at the pick bin, so asked if I could nose in. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen such nice coins 6 for $110, or about $18 a piece if you buy 6 at a time. There was a small group the other fellow had picked out, and when he left not buying them, I quickly asked if my friend wanted them, he didn&#039;t, so I put them in my pile. Empresses everywhere. I got about 14 denarii of empresses, about 4 sestertii of empresses, and the rest coins like large bronze on Hadrian, nice scowling face of Caracalla denarius, and other pieces that struck me. Seriously, VF empress denari for $18? I wasn&#039;t going to, but I went through about the whole pile, and pick out 36 of them. So, that was my only coin purchase. </p><p><br /></p><p>I need to get photos taken, as there are a few I am wondering about. One is a nice VF of Diocletian that is smaller and thin. I am almost wondering if it is a fractional follis issue. I bought a couple greeks just for fun. </p><p><br /></p><p>You know the best part? I was hands deep in a large batch of ancient coins, and my hands were filthy when I was done. Not much better than that!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
