<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5465564, member: 97383"]I finally broke away from the auction & fixed myself a Jack Daniels on the rocks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The 1st day had some spectacular results <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The ancient coin market is alive & well <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I'm posting some of the lots that impressed me, some for rarity & other for spectacular condition. I didn't bid on anything today but I will tomorrow. All the coins posted have the estimate & result, minus the 20% buyers fee. For more details go to their website.
