<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3928778, member: 86498"]I cannot really say what I will do except to do what I try to do every year which is to improve my collection. Last year I was very successful having bought some 60 coins but most of the purchases were basically the result of being flexible. I had my sights set on other coins more so than the Alexander I Oktadrachm or the Nero Boscoreale Aureus. I see a number of coins in the Trition XXIII and some of the other NYINC Auctions and while I hope to get some I know that I maybe scrambling to find another coin to fill in a blank in my collection. However in 2018 I bid on a tetradrachm of Alexander II Zabinas to the tune of $3000 Thought I was an idiot for doing so and got beat as the coin went for $7000-$9000 ( I cannot remember). Last January I got this one for less than 3 K and I am very happy with it. Alexander II Zabinas Ar Tetradrachm 1288-122 B.C. Antioch SC 2220b HGC 1149d 16.55 grms 28 mm Photo by W. Hansen. What I am trying to say is Whether I get 60 coins or 6 as long as they do what I need them to do I will be happy and maybe some of the ones I tried to get in 2019 I may get next year.[ATTACH=full]1035550[/ATTACH] But to the rest of you Good luck and good hunting (even if you outbid me)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
