<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ominus1, post: 7887003, member: 89687&quot;]Last night marks for me the 1st auction coin win outside of ebay and our own ever lovin&#039; John Anthony here on CT.. Over the last couple of weeks i&#039;ve registered with several online auction houses, along with biddr* and Numisbids* looking for those hard to find/get coins(you know the type) i wanted/needed to get for my collection...yesterday i turned down a authentic(i&#039;m purdy sure) denarius of Aemillian i had placed in my ebay watch list..after i&#039;d asked for the weight of the coin(all his coins looked like they&#039;d been cut from the same hunk o metal, along with &quot;private listings&quot; on previous sales..i was suspicious, but leaning toward&nbsp; OK )several days ago, the seller didn&#039;t respond until the last few hours before his auction ended(there were no bids). i responded that i&#039;d already bought several high end(for me anyway) coins over the last month or so and i was gonna hold off for now on his..then last nite i remembered seeing 2 Karl Becker forgeries up for auction with Teutoburg&nbsp; Auction House(which i&#039;d declared i wanted to get an example of for many many years.)&nbsp; and up until last nite, i&#039;d bid on a couple on ebay over the years, but didn&#039;t win. now we&#039;ve discussed here how there are forgeries of forgeries, but&nbsp; i can trace these coins back as far as 1984, when they sold at another auction. and i reckon thats good enough for me, right now anyway..^^ i haven&#039;t got the coins in hand yet, and while i am kinda superstitious&nbsp; i&#039;m gonna post the sellers pics of these now, since i&#039;m having problems posting my own photos(i&#039;m working on fixing that too 9_9) 2 coins, 2 slots filled...i&#039;ll post an update on this thread when they come in.. post your stories and coins, or anything you feel&nbsp; relatable..and let&#039;s party like its 1999 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>POST YER COINS N COMMENTS PEEPS!
