[QUOTE="happy_collector, post: 8186570, member: 100070"]Nice pickups, [USER=100445]@Michael Stolt[/USER]. I think the bidding wars in sessions 5 and 6 are not as crazy as in earlier sessions. Some coins are hammered at estimates, or just 50% more. Wonder if the recent stock market downturn discourages bidders from pushing the prices up more. I won 3 coins in sessions 5 and 6. Two are just a bit above estimates. This third one is hammered at estimate, likely due to the reverse marks. Still, a budget piece with nice obverse portrait. :) [ATTACH=full]1432280[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Ptolemy II Philadelphos. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 13.97 g, 12h).
