[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 2647129, member: 74834"]Occasionally I'm buying lots, usually counting 5-10 coins, once I bought 22 Nabatean coins and once a group of 20 Central Asian obols. It's mainly concupiscence, though, a way of overcoming my usual frugality by thinking: [I]I'm going to sell a few. [/I]But I rarely do. I hardly ever trade, and all the times I did, I ended up unhappy. So, those coins are booked as cost plus shipping divided by the number of coins, but in fact I'm paying a lot for the nicest coins, and the others end up in a tray that I have been planning to offer for trading - since 2014. This is the last lot I bought, eight rather crude, nice imitations of Roman coins, about 350 AD. Here they are on the kitchen table. [ATTACH=full]584961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]584962[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
