<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 2217329, member: 31036&quot;]Hey guys, been a while since I bought an ancient, but I happened to stumble across a coin from Constans on ebay that was identical to my first Roman coin -- except this one was a MS * 5/5 in an NGC holder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the &quot;Hut&quot; reverse, issued from Trier - first officina - from the Bridgnorth Hoard.&nbsp; Ordinarily, I&#039;m not into famous hoards - whether modern (Binion) or ancient, but since this is the same as the first coin I ever scrubbed dirt off of, I had an emotional reaction and had to have it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was pleased to see that there were only 8 such coins in the Bridgnorth Hoard.&nbsp; Since other (less scarce) Bridgnorth coins have been selling in AU or MS in the $300-400 range, so I guess $430 wasn&#039;t too far out of family for a MS*.&nbsp; I sure wish that last guy hadn&#039;t popped in with 3 seconds left, otherwise I would have had it for $230.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have any of you had such an emotional purchase?&nbsp; Did you end up with buyer&#039;s remorse?&nbsp;&nbsp; Hoping not.. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Out of curiosity, are there any studies out of NGC that show if the &quot;star&quot; rating on MS ancients coins is generally around 10%?&nbsp; More or less?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Scott</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433871[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
