Ebay lots: Sometimes you get lucky

Nabbed these at the last second. One of the more strange lots I've bid on. Fairly poor pictures were in tow with the listing; probably why I won at such a low price. (I was willing to go much higher.) My pictures are nearly as poor, but I don't feel like properly photographing tonight.

Thank you and welcome to Coin Talk:Ancients

 

Very nice collection. Wow.

 

Nice haul!

Woo, 8,000 post!

 

that's a sweet looking lot IAT, and the galerius follis is super. post more pics when you get a chance.

 

LOL, You are just a JIBBER-JABBER!!!

 

I like the way you brag about your recent purchase. You have every right to do so with this lot!

 

Nice score on the lot, it always feels good to get a bargain.

Looks like ya' got some spares.

 

Very nice lot - you have ignited the jealousy of many. And have probably inspired some to lurk on Ebay ancient auctions.

 

But must learn to be careful. Must learn to be careful. Must learn to be careful......

 

Tired of always being surprised when your coins arrive in the mail?



Tired of falling for lousy seller's photos?



Tired of receiving judging-comments and negative coin-reviews?



Are ya feelin' like buyin' ancient coins is a total crap-shoot?



Well, it's time to start believing in the power of this CT site ...

=> always buy from reputable sellers and don't be afraid to ask for opinions "before" you buy!!



I hope this helps?

 

Well done Steve!

 

I have a few choice words for ya steve, but I don't want to get censured.

 

just pullin' your ancient-chain, my ol' friend ... hey, don't joke about being censored (the walls have ears)
