<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4975301, member: 74834&quot;]Maybe some of you saw the Leu auction (from Switzerland) of last Sunday, with a number of gold (and fourrée) coins of &#039;Uncertain German Tribes&#039;, coming from an &#039;<a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/leu/browse?a=1325&amp;c=27831" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/leu/browse?a=1325&amp;c=27831" rel="nofollow">Aurum Barbarorum Collection</a>&#039;. Needless to say, I didn&#039;t buy any as most of these went into the $2000 area. Here are two spectacular coins (that went for $8400 and $3100):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1195552[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>17 mm, 5.38g, second known example of the &#039;Bear Group&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1195553[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>20 mm, 6.47g, one of the &#039;Ulów Group&#039;, imitating Claudius II, 268-270, or Aurelian, 270-275. I was struck by the &#039;baroque&#039; depiction of the horse and its rider. So beautifully detailed! </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to see your comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
