<p>[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 4588878, member: 105389"]I was biding on a Constantine I Nummus that I wanted to go with a Constantine II that I already have. The Roma Numismatics auction estimate to sell in the auction was £60 ($74.50 USD). I had made what I thought was a overpriced bid and did not even come close to the hammer price. I am just shocked at what this coin sold for. Here is a pic of it take a look at it and get an idea of what you think it should have sold for. I will put the final price at the very end of this post .Please let me know how far off you were from the hammer price please.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1136302[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="4"><b>Description</b></font></p><p>Constantine I BI Nummus.
