I won two sestertii that I feel went fairly cheap, and one large lot of Greek obols to flip - goal is to hopefully break even or at least get one of these beauties for free

Gordian III as Caesar, a hole I had been wanting to fill for a few years


This Gallienus sestertius is one of the last of its type, and the portrait really spoke to me


Cannon fodder!

I was really, really, really hoping that I was going to win the Volusian as Caesar antoninianus, but I didn't want it $400 bad, let alone $650! There were some nice coins in this lot, and the "Summer Haven" sestertii in particular were quite nice.

 

I put 15 coins into the auction and out of that group One came in just below estimate. One came in above estimate but only just. 6 came in between $50 to $130 over estimate and the rest were $150 or more over estimate. Perhaps 3 had doubled their estimates. Over all I have to say I was pleased with the results though there were no coins that really took off. These were two of my coins I think the Nero did best overall Photos CNG

 

Was my first CNG auction, and what a learning experience. I was winning bid on a AlexIII, until about 10 minutes from the close...then outbid. I would have bid again, but I was literally in the dentist chair getting a root canal at that moment. I lost the coin by $50......but who really knows? The other bidder might have pushed it higher.
I gave more luck with Frank Robinson
